Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to embark on an intensive campaign across multiple states on Sunday, gearing up for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. His packed itinerary includes addressing election rallies in Bihar’s Nawada district, spearheading the BJP’s campaign in Madhya Pradesh with a vibrant roadshow in Jabalpur, and rallying support in Jalpaiguri district of North Bengal.
Security measures have been significantly reinforced as the prime minister gears up for his second rally in Bihar. “Once again, a massive wave of BJP-NDA is being seen in Bihar. I will have an opportunity to meet my family members, who are excited about voting, in the public meeting in Nawada around 11 am today,” Modi announced ahead of the rally.
The Bharatiya Janata Party has nominated Vivek Thakur, son of senior BJP leader C P Thakur, as its candidate for the Nawada Lok Sabha constituency.
Modi’s roadshow in Jabalpur will traverse a 1.2-km route starting from Shaheed Bhagat Singh crossing and concluding at Adi Shankaracharya crossing in Gorakhpur locality of Jabalpur. “It will be a historic roadshow that will set the milestone,” said state minister Kailash Vijayvargiya, who is overseeing the arrangements.

Special arrangements for the roadshow include showering flowers upon Modi when his convoy passes through the Gorakhpur market area.
In addition to his engagements in Bihar and Madhya Pradesh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hold a public rally in the Jalpaiguri district of North Bengal. There, he is expected to intensify his criticism of the ruling Trinamool Congress in light of the recent attack on an NIA team during a raid in connection with a blast case in Purba Medinipur district.
“This afternoon, I will be among the people of Jalpaiguri to address a rally. There is outstanding support in @BJP4Bengal’s favor. The people of West Bengal are tired of TMC’s corruption and poor governance. Only BJP can fulfill their dreams,” Modi expressed.
The visit to North Bengal marks Modi’s first since the region was struck by a severe storm, which also impacted vast swathes of the Northeast, causing widespread devastation.
The Jalpaiguri Lok Sabha seat is scheduled to vote in the first phase of the seven-phased Lok Sabha elections on April 19.
