Taking a dig at the construction of a wall on a plot having several slum structures in Ahmedabad ahead of Trump’s visit there, Kumaraswamy in a tweet said, “Prime Minister Modi is building high walls to conceal the slums of Ahmedabad from view when US President Donald Trump visits India! But what wall will Modi build to conceal the country’s declining economy?”
In another tweet, he said, “What fortress will you build to conceal the anti-CAA protests that are spread across the country? What barrier will you build to hide the problems of poverty and unemployment in the country? Mr Modi, will you answer?”

Trump is scheduled to visit Modi’s home state Gujarat on February 24.
He will visit the famous Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad and take part in a roadshow with Modi. After that, the two leaders will inaugurate a new cricket stadium in Motera and address a gathering there, with an expected audience of over one lakh people.
While it was earlier speculated that the programme would be called ‘Kem Chho Trump’, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation on Sunday tweeted a series of posters confirming that the event is now christened ‘Namaste Trump’, apparently to give it a pan-India appeal.
