British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that he felt like Sachin Tendulkar upon his arrival (in Ahmedabad) and also like Amitabh Bachchan when he saw (his) hoardings everywhere during his visit to Gujarat.
Addressing a joint press conference along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Hyderabad House, he said he had a fantastic two-day tour of India and became the first Conservative Prime Minister who visited Gujarat on the invitation of his 'Khas Dost' (personal friend) which is the home of half of all British Indians. "I had an amazing reception, absolutely amazing," Johnson added.
