Prime Minister Narendra Modi received appreciation from his ministerial colleagues and other BJP leaders who praised his commitment and referred to him as a "karmayogi" for continuing with his professional obligations on the day he lost his mother. After attending the funeral services for his mother Hiraben, who passed away at the age of 100 in an Ahmedabad hospital, Modi chose to unveil projects worth Rs 7,800 crore in West Bengal via video conference rather than travelling there physically as originally planned. The National Ganga Council meeting was effectively presided over by PM Modi, who also officially opened the Vande Bharat Express in West Bengal.
