Bhagalpur, February 17
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Bhagalpur on February 24th at 11 AM to address a public rally ahead of the 2025 Bihar elections, at the Airport Ground.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar will accompany the Prime Minister, and the rally is expected to witness the participation of around 5 lakh farmers.
The event will feature the Kisan Samman Nidhi distribution and a public meeting. As part of the program, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will release the 19th instalment of Kisan Samman Nidhi, prioritizing the welfare, happiness, and prosperity of farmers.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Sahnawaj Hussain told ANI that the rally will witness the presence of senior NDA leaders and people from 13 districts, including Bhagalpur, Munger, Begusarai, and others.
BJP leaders are optimistic about winning 200+ seats in Bihar, citing the strong NDA alliance and double-engine government under PM Modi and Nitish Kumar's leadership.
"Just like Delhi, we will win Bihar upcoming elections too," Hussain said.
The BJP, JD(U), Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), Hindustan Awam Morcha and the Rashtriya Lok Morcha are constituents of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Bihar.
Earlier, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) Chief Lalu Prasad Yadav downplayed the impact of the Delhi election results on Bihar, asserting that the BJP stands no chance of forming a government in the state.
Speaking to the media, Yadav claimed that the people have now recognised the Bharatiya Janata Party."There will be no impact. How can they form the government? Can the BJP form the government while we are here? The people have now recognised the BJP," Lalu Yadav said.
The Bihar Legislative Assembly election for all 243 constituencies is scheduled to be held in October or November this year. The last assembly elections were held in October-November 2020.
