Patna (Bihar) [India], November 2 (ANI): Praising the massive public turnout at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's roadshow in Patna, BJP MP Yogender Chandoliya on Sunday said that people's enthusiasm reflects their support for the NDA, adding that "the time of Lalu-Tejashwi is over" and "people now want to see Modi's era."
Speaking to ANI, Yogender Chandoliya said, "The women, children, and youth had been standing there for almost three hours. People were standing right on the railing... This is the Prime Minister's charisma. People want a glimpse of the Prime Minister, and today's roadshow in Patna shows that the NDA is moving towards forming the government..."
"The BJP is moving ahead in all 243 seats... Lalu Yadav has turned Congress into a regional party... People were fed up with the jungle raj. People want to see Modi's era. The time of Lalu-Tejashwi is over," Chandoliya said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a roadshow in Patna after multiple rallies at Arah and Nawada. He was accompanied by BJP State President Dilip Jaiswal and Union Minister of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairy, Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan.
Notably, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was absent from the roadshow.
PM Modi also paid floral tributes to the statue of noted Hindi poet Ramdhari Singh Dinkar.
Earlier in the day, the Prime Minister addressed an election rally in Nawada and hailed the NDA's poll promise to provide Rs 3,000 in addition to the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi to farmers in Bihar, saying 'jinhe koi nahi poochhta, Modi unhe poojta hai' (Modi worships those whom no one else cares about).
Prime Minister Modi took a jibe at the Opposition, claiming that the previous governments did not prioritise small farmers.
He said, "The governments after independence did not prioritise small farmers. But this is Modi, 'jinhe koi nahi poochhta, Modi unhe poojta hai' (Modi worships those whom no one else cares about). In the last 11 years, our government has brought small farmers to the centre of the agriculture policy."
"We opened bank accounts for farmers, and they get the amount for PM Kisan Samman Nidhi in those bank accounts. The poor farmers have received Rs 20,000 crore. In Nawada, Rs 650 crore has been deposited in the accounts of 2 lakh farmers," he said.
The polling for the first phase will take place on November 6, with results to be announced on November 14. (ANI)
