Imphal, Feb 08 (ANI): Militant outfit in northeast India called for shutdown on Saturday showing strong resistance towards BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi's rally to be held in Imphal and Guwahati. Modi would try to strike a chord with the people by pitching his Gujarat model of development to Manipur and Assam. Modi has been touring the country to garner support for the upcoming general elections. BJP's strong showing in the recent polls in four states has boosted the momentum for Modi in the run-up to the parliamentary elections due by April 2014.
