PM Modi will visit Bihar on Sunday for rallies in Arrah and Nawada, followed by a grand Patna roadshow. Traffic curbs, security measures, and rival leaders’ campaigns make it a high-voltage political day across Bihar.
Bihar is gearing up for a politically charged Sunday as Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrives for a one-day election campaign packed with back-to-back rallies and a grand roadshow in the state capital. The Prime Minister’s visit is being seen as a major show of strength for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) ahead of the upcoming polls.
According to the official itinerary, Prime Minister Modi will address two massive public rallies — the first at Arrah at 1:30 pm and the second at Nawada at 3:30 pm. These rallies are expected to witness huge turnouts, as the BJP aims to consolidate its voter base across central and southern Bihar.
After completing his twin rallies, the Prime Minister is scheduled to return to Patna by around 5:00 pm. His next stop will be a visit to the statue of Rashtrakavi Ramdhari Singh Dinkar, where he will pay floral tributes at 5:25 pm — an event symbolic of connecting cultural legacy with contemporary political outreach.
Roadshow Through Heart of Patna
The day’s grand highlight will be the mega roadshow in Patna starting at 5:30 pm, where PM Modi will lead a massive procession in support of NDA candidates. The roadshow will begin from Dinkar Golambar and pass through Nala Road, Thakurwadi, and Bakarganj, concluding in the heart of the city.
Thousands of BJP supporters, NDA workers, and common citizens are expected to line the streets, waving saffron flags and chanting slogans as the Prime Minister’s cavalcade moves through the key routes. Party sources say the event is designed to demonstrate the NDA’s unity and momentum in Bihar’s capital city.
Traffic Diversion and Security Arrangements
In view of the high-profile visit, the Patna Traffic Police have issued detailed traffic advisories to ensure smooth management of the crowd and security movement. Traffic restrictions will be in place from 2:00 pm to 7:00 pm across several major stretches, including:
-
Dinkar Golambar to Nala Road
-
Nala Road to Bari Path
-
Machhua Toli to Bari Path
-
Khetan Market to Bakarganj
-
Hathua Market to Bakarganj
-
Vaishali Golambar to Dinkar Golambar
-
Apsara Golambar to Nala Road Golambar
Only emergency vehicles such as ambulances, fire tenders, patient transport, judicial vehicles, and election duty vehicles will be allowed to pass during the restricted hours.
To accommodate the large number of supporters expected to participate in the roadshow, authorities have arranged designated parking zones at Gandhi Maidan, Patna Science College, Patna College, under the Double-Decker Bridge, Moin-ul-Haq Stadium, and Shakha Maidan.
Traffic police have also appealed to the public to cooperate by using alternative routes and avoiding congested areas during the event.
Visit to Takht Sri Harimandir Sahib
Following the roadshow, PM Modi is scheduled to visit Takht Sri Harimandir Sahib Gurudwara at Patna City around 6:45 pm. This visit holds deep religious significance, as the Gurudwara is one of the five Takhts of Sikhism, marking the birthplace of Guru Gobind Singh. The Prime Minister’s visit is expected to attract hundreds of devotees and followers.
High-Octane Political Day Across Bihar
Sunday promises to be a high-voltage day in Bihar politics, as multiple national leaders will crisscross the state holding election rallies.
While PM Modi will be addressing the NDA’s core regions, Union Home Minister Amit Shah is set to hold rallies in Muzaffarpur and Vaishali, reinforcing the alliance’s outreach.
Meanwhile, on the opposition front, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will address public meetings in Begusarai and Khagaria, focusing on issues of unemployment and inflation.
RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav, the Grand Alliance’s chief ministerial face, will campaign extensively in Munger, Patna, Vaishali, and Saran, countering the NDA narrative with promises of jobs and social justice.
Political analysts say the overlapping rallies of top leaders on the same day underline the intense competition for Bihar’s electoral ground, especially in central and northern districts. With the BJP banking on Modi’s charisma and the opposition emphasizing grassroots issues, Sunday’s campaign activity will set the tone for the upcoming phase of elections.
Symbolism and Strategy
Modi’s decision to start the day from Arrah — historically significant as the site of 1857’s freedom struggle hero Veer Kunwar Singh — carries a symbolic appeal to Bihar’s pride and patriotism. The subsequent rally in Nawada targets constituencies influenced by agrarian and middle-class voters, key to the BJP’s prospects.
The Patna roadshow, on the other hand, is being viewed as both a political spectacle and a morale booster for party workers across the state. Senior BJP leaders believe the massive crowd turnout will send a strong message of confidence ahead of polling.
