The Prime Minister, atop a saffron-coloured open vehicle adorned with flowers and his cutouts, waved at the crowd, which chanted slogans like "Modi Zindabad."

From children to adults, people expressed their excitement by capturing moments of the road-show on their mobile phones.

This was the second roadshow by the PM here in the last six months.

The roadshow began at OTC Ground, amid tight security and heavy police deployment, and culminated at New Market Chowk.

"At the start of the roadshow, around 501 Brahmins blew conch shells with the resolve for victory," a BJP leader said.

Union Minister and Ranchi MP Sanjay Seth, Ranchi candidate CP Singh, and Hatia BJP candidate Naveen Jaiswal were seen perched beside Modi as he waved at the crowds.
