PATNA: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be in Bihar on Friday, when he is going to address a public rally in East Champaran district, besides starting development projects worth more than Rs 7,000 crore.There are tight security measures at Gandhi Maidan in Motihari city of the district headquarters, where Modi is expected to arrive at the forens and share the stage with Governor Arif Mohammad Khan, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and several Union Ministers.
Eastern Champaran District Magistrate Saurabh Jorl said, “All arrangements have been made to the public at the site of the rally, which is expected to attract about five lakh people.”DM said, “People are likely to come from far-flung places. Thus, parking has been arranged for more than 10,000 buses. The public will be allowed to enter the huge canopy through 12 gates, two of which are especially for women.”Superintendent of Police Swarn Prabhat said that more than 10,000 police personnel have been deployed in the city.He said that he will ensure proper law and order and traffic under the supervision of 10 IPS officers and 50 officers of Deputy SP rank.“Admission to the canopy will be allowed from 6 am, and all entry points will be sealed after 9 am, which is more than one hour before the coming time of the PM,” he said.State BJP President Dilip Jaiswal said that this will be the PM’s 53rd visit in the state, “which shows that Bihar is high in Modi’s list of priorities”.The development projects launched by him will promote NDA ahead of the assembly elections due to a few months.Of the development projects to be launched, the price of people belonging to the railway will be Rs 5,385 crore.According to a statement issued by the Railways, these include doubling 256 km Darbhanga-Narkatyganj for Rs 4,079 crore and Darbhanga-Thalwara and Samastipur-Rambhadrapur lines for Rs 585 crore.Four Amrit Bharat Express trains, which are passing through all states and two connect Bihar to Delhi, will also be identified by the Prime Minister on the occasion.In addition, roads and highway projects worth Rs 1,173 crore will be launched by Modi, which will also give Rs 162 crore to 40,000 beneficiaries of PM Avas Yojana (Gramin) for 61,500 self-help groups and will also expand “Rs 400 crore Community Finance”.Meanwhile, Leader of Opposition in the state assembly Tejashvi Yadav said, “Tomorrow, when PM is in Bihar, we hope that they will have some words to increase the crime rate in the state.”“In every rally on Bihar land, Modi has made a point to cry about the return of ‘Jungle Raj’, if the RJD -led coalition comes to power. It should admit that ‘Jungle Raj’ has already arrived. In fact, it has been subject to the state NDA during 20 years,” Yadav said.Congress spokesperson Ragini Nayak said that the people of Bihar are fed up with “the antics of the Prime Minister” during their innumerable visits.He said, “They still remember the flooding of rhetoric, with which he assisted Rs 1.25 lakh crore in the state’s way in 2015. Nothing came about it.”“We would like to remind the people of Motihari in 2014 to the PM of his promise, that he will revive the sick sugar mills of the region and enjoy tea with local yield. The people of Motihari will serve him tomorrow, but it would be brand, such as his own unwanted promises,” Congress leader said.Nayak also alleged that “booth capturing” has given way to “capture the list of voters” as special intensive amendments were being made by the Election Commission in the state “to steal the assembly elections in favor of BJP”.
