As the Lok Sabha elections draw nearer, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Bihar on January 13, a move seen as strategically significant for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). In 2019, under PM Modi's leadership, BJP, in alliance with Nitish Kumar's party, secured victory in 17 out of the 40 parliamentary seats in Bihar.
This time, with Nitish Kumar in the opposition camp, BJP is gearing up with allies like Chirag Paswan, Pashupati Paras, and Jitan Ram Manjhi to contest the upcoming elections. Modi's Bihar tour is expected to play a crucial role in setting the tone for the electoral battle, drawing attention not only from BJP and NDA supporters but also from the opposition.
With Nitish Kumar leading the opposition charge, BJP faces challenges in Bihar, necessitating a strong campaign. Modi's tour is expected to serve as a platform to showcase the government's achievements and strengthen alliances to face an energized opposition.
