Bihar Elections 2025 LIVE Updates: PM Modi Holds Roadshow In Patna, Pays Tribute To Ramdhari Singh Dinkar And Visits Patna Sahib Gurudwara

BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad on Sunday lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s roadshow in Patna, calling it an “incredible” event. He noted the overwhelming response from locals, especially women who expressed their admiration by performing aarti, describing it as an emotional moment for party members.

Speaking to ANI, Prasad said, “It was incredible. The women showered their admiration and offered ‘aarti’; it was an emotional moment for us. People of Patna hold him in high regard. Earlier, he came when I was contesting from here. As MP from Patna Sahib, I bow down before the people of my constituency.”

Responding to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s remarks, BJP MP Manoj Tiwari said, “Rahul Gandhi is the real scamster. From his brother-in-law to everyone else, everyone around him is a scamster. The Prime Minister isn't just an individual; he's an institution. (Rahul Gandhi) repeatedly tries to tarnish his image, because he's trying to tarnish a constitutional institution... These are the same people who call the 'Rashtrapati' as 'Rashtrapatni'...”

AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi, while addressing a gathering in Seemanchal, criticised Tejashwi Yadav for being disconnected from the ground realities of the region. Sharing his experience from a recent visit, Owaisi said, “We went to a remote village in Seemanchal. When we came out after offering namaaz, our sisters and mothers were standing there. Only the elders were standing there since the poor youth have already migrated. Eight-year-old children were chanting 'Patang Chap.' Tejashwi, did you see that an eight-year-old child is saying 'Patang Chap.' But you are flying in the sky, you don't have time to come down to the earth?... But the people of Seemanchal will make you sleep on the ground...”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Takhat Shri Harimandir Ji Patna Sahib, where he offered prayers and greeted devotees.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday launched a sharp counterattack on the Mahagathbandhan in Bihar, criticising Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s recent remarks calling the BJP’s Chhath Puja celebrations a “drama.”

Speaking at an election rally in Nawada, PM Modi invoked ‘Surya Dev’ and highlighted the government’s efforts to harness solar energy. He said, “RJD and Congress members call the worship of Chhathi Maiya a gimmick, a drama. These people have no idea about Surya Dev's powers. It's our government that's engaged in generating electricity from Surya Dev's energy. Those who have come from Delhi and other major cities to enjoy the election season, I'd also like to tell them to go and see the floating solar plant in Nawada.”

His comments came in response to Rahul Gandhi’s statement made during a rally in Darbhanga, where he accused the Prime Minister of staging a “drama” during Chhath Puja. Gandhi said, “PM Modi said that he will bathe on the Yamuna for Chhath. The Yamuna has dirty water. If someone drank it, they would either get sick or die. No one can go inside. The water is so dirty that if you enter it, you would get sick or get an infection. But Modi staged a drama. He built a small pond there. They will show you anything for elections. A pipe is installed from behind. Clean water is poured into it. The problem arose that someone took a photo of the pipe,"

Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to the statue of Ramdhari Singh Dinkar in Patna, Bihar.

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar are holding roadshows in Patna on the same streets where young people were lathi-charged almost every month for demanding jobs and fair recruitment exams.”

While addressing a rally in Begusarai on Saturday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of diverting attention from the country’s unemployment crisis by urging the youth to watch social media reels. He said the Prime Minister could “do anything for votes,” even perform yoga if needed. Gandhi further added that a Congress-led government in Bihar would represent every community rather than focusing on any particular caste.

“It’s Modi’s guarantee that Bihar’s youth will work in Bihar in future” says PM Modi in Khagaria.

Addressing an election rally in Begusarai ahead of the first phase of the upcoming Bihar polls, senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

PM Modi said, "...Congress never wanted an RJD candidate to be declared the Chief Ministerial face. But RJD snatched the Chief Ministerial post by pointing a gun at Congress, ensuring that its candidate would be the Chief Ministerial face... There is a huge conflict between the RJD and the Congress. Congress's demands were not taken into account in the manifesto... There is so much hatred between them before the elections, and after the elections, they will turn on each other. They cannot be trusted..."

As the election campaign is in full swing in Bihar, PM Modi, while addressing the public ahead of the first phase of voting, said that when he talks about Viksit Bharat, he means industrial development of Bihar. 

PM Narendra Modi said, "Viksit Bihar is the foundation of Viksit Bharat. When I talk about Viksit Bihar, I mean the industrial development of Bihar; the youth of Bihar should get jobs in Bihar. Your dreams are our resolve...This time, the people of Bihar will ensure that NDA wins the elections with a record margin...The leaders of 'Jungle Raaj' will set a record for the most crushing defeat..."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing an election gathering in Arrah, urged people to help the NDA register a record-breaking victory. Taking on opposition, PM called the Mahagathbandhan's manifesto a 'bundle of lies'. 

PM Modi said, "The manifesto of the NDA alliance is an honest declaration and on the other hand, the manifesto of Mahagathbandhan is a bundle of lies...'Yeh public hai yeh sab janti hai'..."

The Union Home Minister Amit Shah, while addressing a political gathering in Muzzafarpur, hit out at opposition, saying that Lalu Yadav wants to make his son CM while Sonia wants to See her son as PM but of their wish will get fulfilled.

Amit Shah said, ".Lalu ji and Sonia ji do not care about the nation. Lalu ji wants to make his son the Chief Minister and Sonia ji wants to make his son the Prime Minister. Their wish will never get fulfilled as Nitish Kumar is the CM of Bihar and NarendraModi is the PM of the nation...",

After RJD announced that if the Mahagathbandhan come to power, there will be several Deputy CMs, including one from the Muslim community, the BJP has hit out at RJD, calling the announcement a 'trial of jungle raj'. 

BJP Spokeperson, Guru Prakash Pawan, said, "We have long stated this... Krishna Allavaru, who is now a former Congress in-charge, said a Muslim deputy CM would be there... To whom did Lalu Yadav give the first ticket? It's not the son of late Sharad Yadav, who provided political patronage to Lalu Prasad Yadav, but the son of a notorious criminal, Shahabuddin. This is a trailer of Jungle Raj..."

National spokesperson of the BJP, Guru Prakash Paswan, affirmed the rule of law in Bihar after the JDU leader was arrested in the Mokama murder case. Paswan said,  "There is the rule of law here...

Nitish Kumar's government, the NDA coalition government, never compromises on crime, and this is an example of that."

Following the arrest of JDU leader Anant Sigh murder case of Jan Suraaj worker, Dular Chand Yadav, opposition leaders are taking on the ruling NDA and slamming it for running a 'real jungle raj'. Taking on the Bihar government over the deteriorating law and order situation, Congress Leader Pawan Khera said that an arrest is not a big thing because arrests were made earlier too, but bails were also granted. 

Khera Said, "It is not that the arrest has happened today, arrests have happened earlier too, bails were also granted, but those who were talking about jungle raj, it has come to light today that this is the real jungle raj where leaders are being shot in the middle of elections, the leaders themselves are getting it done. Today is the Prime Minister's road show, hence the arrest was done"
