PM Modi Siwan Bihar Visit: On June 20, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Bihar, reaching Siwan as part of his state tour.
In what is considered a stronghold of the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance), PM Modi addressed a major election rally. He arrived in Siwan at around 12 PM.
This marks PM Modi’s fourth visit to Bihar this year. During his visit, he participated in a major public event.
Announced development projects worth crores of rupees for the state. The program lasted until 1:15 PM.
According to information, PM Modi laid the foundation stone and inaugurated development projects worth ₹10,000 crore during the Siwan rally.
Additionally, he flagged off the Patna-Gorakhpur Vande Bharat Express train. Bihar is scheduled to hold assembly elections in October-November this year.
Siwan and the surrounding 24 assembly constituencies are considered strongholds of the Mahagathbandhan, but the NDA aims to secure victories in this region.
Through this rally, PM Modi is attempting to strengthen his hold not just on Siwan but also on the nearby regions of Saran and Gopalganj.
These areas pose a tough challenge for the NDA, and this rally could smooth their path ahead.
Notably, in Siwan district’s 8 assembly constituencies, Muslim voters hold significant influence, accounting for more than 25% of the population.
Along with a considerable number of Yadav votes, giving the RJD (Rashtriya Janata Dal) strong support.
This makes the contests in these 8 constituencies extremely tight.
