Bihar Elections: Prime Minister Modi to address massive rally in Bhagalpur

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to 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 see the participation of around 5 lakh farmers. 

The event will include the distribution of Kisan Samman Nidhi, as well as a public meeting. During the program, Prime Minister Modi will release the 19th installment of the Kisan Samman Nidhi, emphasizing the welfare and prosperity of farmers.

BJP leader Sahnawaj Hussain said that the rally will also feature senior NDA leaders and people from 13 districts, including Bhagalpur, Munger, and Begusarai, among others. 

Hussain expressed confidence in the BJP's success in the upcoming Bihar elections, saying that the party is hopeful of securing over 200 seats in Bihar due to the strength of the NDA alliance and the leadership of Prime Minister Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. 

"Just like Delhi, we will win Bihar in the upcoming elections too," Hussain stated.

The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Bihar includes BJP, JD(U), Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), Hindustan Awam Morcha, and Rashtriya Lok Morcha. 

In contrast, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) Chief Lalu Prasad Yadav dismissed the impact of the Delhi election results on Bihar, asserting that the BJP would not be able to form a government in the state. 

"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," Yadav told the media.

The Bihar Legislative Assembly election, which will cover all 243 constituencies, is slated for October or November this year, following the last election held in October-November 2020.
