If you find a resemblance between Narendra Modi’s stage at MMRDA grounds in Bandra Kurla Complex and the standard arrangements of US President Barack Obama’s stage, you can rest assured that it is not a coincidence. According to Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) insiders, Modi’s stage in Mumbai, from where he will address a rally today, has been designed to look like the US President’s stage. However, no one from the party was willing to officially confirm the news as they claimed that Modi’s stage and its arrangements are the surprise elements of the rally.
