Addressing a public rally in Samastipur, Prime Minister Modi said, "The trumpet of the grand festival of democracy has sounded. The entire Bihar is saying 'Phir Ek Baar NDA Sarkar', 'Phir Ek Baar Susaasan Sarkar'. Jungle-raj walon ko dur rakhega Bihar."
Noting the presence of a large crowd even with just two days left for the Chhath Puja festivities, Prime Minister Modi in Bihar expressed gratitude to the people present at the rally, saying that the mood of Mithila has surely ensured that Bihar will move forward at a new pace.
PM Modi, before addressing the rally, paid homage to socialist icon Karpoori Thakur, calling him an "inspiration" for his government.
The Prime Minister praised Karpoori Thakur, saying that he has played an immense role in bringing social justice to independent India and connecting the poor and deprived with new opportunities.
The 2025 Bihar elections will have the main contest between the NDA and the Mahagathbandhan, where the Chief Minister Nitish Kumar-led NDA is seeking to retain its power.
