In a 1st, state set to roll out e-voting process
The New Indian Express Tirupati
|June 19, 2025
PRIME Minister Narendra Modi's scheduled visit to Bihar on June 20 to attend a railway function followed by a public rally in Siwan holds political significance.
Considered a stronghold of the RJD, Siwan is home to a sizeable Muslim and Yadav voter base - demographics the BJP aims to influence ahead of assembly elections due in October-November.
Siwan and adjoining districts of Gopalganj and Chhapra are politically critical for the NDA. Modi's address is expected to target RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, especially after a controversy erupted over placement of Dr BR Ambedkar's picture near his feet.
"Narendra Modi will not miss the chance to target RJD over the issue, in a bid to polarise Dalit votes in favour of the NDA across Siwan, which has a 45% Dalit population," said political observer RK Verma.
