Significance of PM Modi’s Visit to Bihar

PM Modi’s visit to Bhagalpur is seen as the unofficial launch of NDA’s election campaign in Bihar. The BJP-JDU-LJP alliance aims to secure another term by highlighting the achievements of the Modi government and the development work in Bihar.

The direct transfer of funds to farmers under PM Kisan Samman Nidhi is expected to boost support for the ruling alliance. With BJP and JDU deploying top leaders across all major districts, the political battle in Bihar is set to heat up in the coming months.

This visit also sends a strong political message to the opposition, indicating that NDA is well-prepared for the upcoming elections. With strategic deployments and a well-coordinated approach, the ruling alliance hopes to consolidate its voter base before the elections.

As Bihar gears up for Assembly Elections 2025, political activities are gaining momentum. With PM Modi’s visit and BJP’s extensive groundwork, the NDA has set the stage for an intense electoral contest. The coming months will witness aggressive campaigning, rallies, and political strategies as parties battle for dominance in one of India’s most politically significant states.
