New Delhi, Nov 2 (IANS) As Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday launched a high-voltage campaign in Bihar, holding two back-to-back rallies in Arrah and Nawada, followed by a massive road show in Patna, the NDA camp is brimming with confidence, feeling strongly in its favor ahead of the assembly elections.
In Patna, members of the Nishad community performed a symbolic ritual, offering fish to invoke good fortune for PM Modi and the NDA.
“Before starting any new work, ‘Jatra’ is done with curd and fish. PM Modi has come today, so we have done ‘Jatra’ for his victory,” a supporter told IANS.
Another attendee echoed the same sentiment, saying that he “showed the fish to the Prime Minister so that his government can be formed again,” adding confidently, “NDA will win, Nitish Kumar will be the Chief Minister again.”
As soon as PM Modi’s convoy passed through Patna, crowds gathered on the streets, people were waving flags and showering flowers.
BJP leader Sushma Sahu praised the Prime Minister’s “unmatchable energy”, saying his presence radiates spiritual strength. He said, “God knows what he is made of… even after so many programmes, there is no sign of tiredness on his face.”
Bihar BJP chief Dilip Jaiswal announced that the NDA would return to power with a two-thirds majority, citing “strong public confidence” in the development efforts of the Modi-Nitish duo.
RLM chief Upendra Kushwaha reiterated the optimism and said “lakhs of people” gathered as a clear support to the BJP-led alliance.
LJP (Ram Vilas) leader Hulas Pandey said Modi’s presence has given “new energy” to NDA workers and voters, insisting that voters will get “maximum seats” for the alliance.
With the intensity of the campaign increasing and the traditional support base mobilizing, the BJP and its allies are betting big on PM Modi’s charisma to convert crowds into votes and bring the NDA back to power in Bihar.
