Patna, Nov 2 (NationPress) Prime Minister Narendra Modi's roadshow in Patna on Sunday evening wrapped up at Bakarganj after traversing notable locations such as Dinkar Golambar, Nala Road, Bari Path, and Thakurbadi Road.

The event was organized to bolster support for NDA candidates ahead of the elections.

During the roadshow, PM Modi rode in a vehicle adorned with flowers.

He was joined in the vehicle by Union Minister Rajiv Ranjan Singh, also known as Lalan Singh, and Bihar BJP President Dilip Jaiswal.

A vast number of supporters gathered along the route to catch a glimpse of the Prime Minister.

Many spectators were seen from rooftops, and some women performed Aarti.

The crowd enthusiastically chanted 'Modi-Modi' as the motorcade moved through the streets.

Several NDA leaders, including Ravi Shankar Prasad, Ram Kripal Yadav, and local MLA and candidate Nitin Nabin, were present alongside NDA candidates from the Patna city.

Following the roadshow, PM Modi plans to visit Takht Shri Harimandir Gurudwara in Patna City to offer prayers.

The event occurred amidst a heated electoral battle in the state.

BJP workers emphasized the presence of senior alliance leaders as a message of unity to the people of Bihar.

Political analysts suggest the roadshow could influence the electoral landscape in the Patna region ahead of the voting.

Extensive security measures were implemented throughout the route.

Traffic was controlled, and security personnel were stationed at key junctions to ensure a smooth event.

Earlier that day, PM Modi addressed a public gathering at Kunti Nagar grounds in Nawada, sharply criticizing RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, labeling him the 'Prince of jungle raj', while also alluding to Congress leaders such as Rahul Gandhi.

He claimed that the era of 'Jungle Raj' in Bihar involved violence and extortion, alleging that citizens were coerced into paying bribes as their income increased.

PM Modi asserted that the NDA government has put an end to that dark chapter and urged voters to prevent its resurgence.

He pointed out the RJD-Congress alliance's internal conflicts, stating that the Congress had even rejected Tejashwi Yadav for the Chief Minister's nomination, leading to discord between the two parties.

PM Modi emphasized the need for Bihar to be safeguarded against extortion and Maoist terrorism, underscoring that this responsibility falls upon every youth, mother, and sister, with the NDA prioritizing 'Developed Bihar -- Developed India'.

Referencing Bihar's rich historical legacy, PM Modi remarked that the state has been home to great mathematicians like Aryabhata and insisted the people of Bihar cannot be misled by those involved in the fodder scam.

Throughout his 20-minute speech, he repeatedly highlighted the jungle raj issue and predicted that post-elections, Congress and RJD would blame each other for their seat-sharing troubles.

He accused the opposition of appeasement, claiming they support infiltrators within Bihar.

Additionally, PM Modi noted that RJD leaders had disparaged the Prayagraj Mahakumbh and called a Congress leader's remarks on Chhath Puja a drama.

He asserted that Bihar would not forgive those who insult religious sentiments.

Addressing the youth, he assured them that future employment opportunities would be available locally, eliminating the need for migration as new factories would be established in Bihar.

Reflecting on past power shortages, he compared the days when clothes were hung on electric wires in Bihar to the current scenario where every home is electrified.

He encouraged attendees at the roadshow to raise their mobile phone lights and chant for a 'Bihar of Light'.

PM Modi stated that women in Nawada had received Rs 2 crore to work as 'Jeevika Didis' and reiterated the NDA government's vision for a developed Bihar.

Despite all local NDA candidates being present on stage, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was notably absent from the rally.

PM Modi pointed out that regions such as Nawada, Gaya, Nalanda, Aurangabad, Jehanabad, and Arwal possess significant potential.

He invoked the legacies of Bihar Kesari Shri Krishna Singh, J.P. Narayan, Bhola Singh, and the ancient pride of Magadh.

"We must restore the former glory of Magadh and Bihar. Our aim is to transform this region into a global center of knowledge and science," he concluded.
