|October 15, 2025
WITH the Bihar Assembly elections poised to turn into a triangular battle, owing to the entry of Prashant Kishor’s newly launched Jan Suraaj Party, the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is ramping up its campaign plans.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to address more than 10 public rallies during the first two phases of polling, scheduled for November 6 and November 11, covering a total of 122 assembly constituencies, sources said. Sources said that the PM Modi’s rallies will target areas where the NDA’s influence is relatively weak but where the Prime Minister maintains a strong personal following. Each of Modi’s rallies is expected to cover 15 to 20 assembly segments and will be supported by live telecasts in remote regions.
