Following the inauguration, PM Modi will address a public rally at Shishabari village. People from Purnia, Katihar, Araria, and Kishanganj districts are expected to attend the event in large numbers.
The BJP leader added that as part of the government’s measures to empower women, ₹10,000 will be transferred into the bank account of one woman from each family.
He emphasised, “The Prime Minister is coming with the vision of fulfilling the dream of a developed Bihar.”
