Patna, May 12 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a massive roadshow in Patna on Sunday to boost the prospects of NDA candidates in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections, triggering a huge response from people gathered all along the route to cheer him.
Modi began his roadshow from Bhattacharya Chowk in Patna after some religious rituals amid the blowing of conch. He will cover a total distance of two kilometers before the programme’s culmination near Udyog Bhawan, Gandhi Maidan. A large number of leaders from the BJP, JD (U), and other partners of the NDA were present on the occasion.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary, and BJP candidate from Patna Sahib seat Ravi Shankar Prasad also accompanied the Prime Minister during his roadshow.
