PATNA: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Bihar’s Rohtas district on May 30, lay the foundation stone for various development projects, and inaugurate the new terminal of the Patna airport.
This will be his first visit after the Operation Sindoor, which was launched against terrorists responsible for massacre of 26 people, mostly tourists, at Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir on April 22.
PM Modi’s visit also assumes significance given the upcoming assembly elections, which are due later this year. Bihar BJP state president Dilip Jaiswal said preparations for the PM’s visit to Sasaram in Rohtas district on May 30 are underway. Workers from the Shahabad region comprising Rohtas, Kaimur, Bhojpur and Buxar, are expected to attend the rally.
Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary said that the PM will lay the foundation stone for Patna-Sasaram four-lane road to provide better connectivity to the people of Shahabad region. He will also inaugurate the new terminal of Patna airport, which is complete.
The PM is also expected to announce some mega development projects for the state. In the 2024 Lok Sabha election, the NDA could not fare well and lost important seats like Ara, Buxar and Karakat.
The Opposition INDIA bloc wrested all the three seats from the ruling NDA in the previous Lok Sabha election.
Last month, PM Modi visited Madhubani district from where he issued a stern warning to cross-border terror in the wake of the Pahalgam attack.
