The hectic political campaign in five states has not stopped Prime Minister Modi from keeping a busy schedule on the diplomatic front. 

After visiting Singapore and Maldives during the Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh campaign, now in the midst of campaigning for the Rajasthan and Telangana elections, the Prime Minister will be travelling to Argentina to attend the G20 summit. 

In fact, starting November 23, PM Modi has been on the campaign trail every day —beginning with Mizoram. Since then, he has campaigned across Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Telangana over the last six days. 

Wednesday saw him address two election rallies in Rajasthan over in the course of a seven-hour journey — involving both plane and chopper. Barely 90 minutes after landing in Delhi, the Prime Minister emplaned for Argentina. 

The journey from Delhi to Buenos Aires involves two legs of nearly 12-hour durations each, with a short technical halt in Cape Town, South Africa. The total travel time to Buenos Aires is 25 hours, and consequently, the to and fro trips will involve a combined journey time of nearly 50 hours. 

In between these two trips, the PM will be in Buenos Aires for just over 50 hours, including two nights. In the space of these 50 hours, he has over 25 scheduled engagements. These include the various sessions of the G20 summit, sideline meetings including the BRICS informal meeting, and bilateral meetings with various world leaders. Besides these scheduled engagements, Modi may also engage informally with other leaders. An important item on his itinerary is to attend and address a “Yoga for Peace” event in Buenos Aires. 

PM Modi will then return to India in the wee hours of December 3, only to take off again within 12 hours to resume his political campaigning in Rajasthan and Telangana over the next two days. He will kick off the Rajasthan campaign in Jodhpur and then head to Hyderabad.
