PM Modi will trailblaze the NDA’s Lok Sabha poll campaign in Bihar on Thursday when he is set to address a rally, his first in the state since the announcement of the elections, at Jamui.
Modi, who is running for a third consecutive term in office, is scheduled to address the rally around noon.
BJP ally Chirag Paswan, who has handed over the mantle to brother-in-law Arun Bharti after having represented Jamui, a reserved seat, two times on the trot, has been effusive in his praise for the PM for the gesture.
It is a matter of pride for Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) and the people of Jamui that the PM has agreed to launch his campaign in Bihar from the constituency. We are committed to helping him achieve the target of 400 plus seats for NDA, including all the 40 in Bihar, said Paswan.
Predictably, the opposition wants the PM, the NDA’s main crowd puller, to be held accountable for the alleged failures of his government, especially with respect to Bihar.
Former DCM and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav said, be it the PM or any other leader, they will be on the campaign trail during polls and people of Bihar has to know what have they got in return for the enormous support they gave to NDA five years ago.
