Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to embark on a notable roadshow in Patna, rallying support for the BJP candidates contesting from the Patliputra and Patna Sahib Lok Sabha constituencies.
Bihar BJP President and Deputy Chief Minister, Samrat Choudhary, disclosed the plans, affirming that incumbent BJP MPs Ravi Shankar Prasad and Ram Kripal Yadav, the party's nominees from Patna Sahib and Patliputra respectively, will join the event.
This initiative, as outlined by Choudhary, marks a historic first for a Prime Minister, slated to take place in the evening of May 12th at the Dak Bungalow Chowk precinct. Not only will locals attend, but enthusiasts from across the state are expected to converge in Patna to witness the spectacle, as mentioned by the Deputy CM.
Preparations are already underway, with the state BJP mobilizing its workforce from all corners of Bihar to ensure the success of the roadshow. Ravi Shankar Prasad underscored the significance of the occasion, emphasizing Prime Minister Modi's steadfast commitment to upholding the Constitution and fostering national development over the past decade. He emphasized that the roadshow would serve as a platform to spotlight these accomplishments, along with efforts to fortify the reservation system.
Expressing enthusiasm, Ram Kripal Yadav hailed the impending roadshow as a historic moment, predicting mass participation from the Patliputra constituency.
Meanwhile, amidst fervent campaigning, the BJP has set an ambitious target of securing all 40 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar, while the Opposition remains confident of causing an upset on election day.
In a reply to the Prime Minister's proposed roadshow, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav announced his own plans, promising a "job show" in counterpoint to Modi's event. Slamming the BJP for its poll campaign, he deplored the fact that none of the critical issues facing the common people are being discussed, claiming that there is growing disparity and neglect of vital sectors like education and health.
