The BJP on Wednesday exhorted supporters from across Bihar to converge in the state capital on Sunday to welcome Prime Minister Narendra Modi who will hold a roadshow in the city.
An appeal to the effect came at a joint press conference here, addressed by former Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, who is also the local MP, and Deputy Chief Minister cum state BJP president Samrat Choudhary, among others.
“Sifting through the pages of history I realise that never before has a prime minister held a roadshow in our city. At the most, Modi’s predecessors have gone to Gandhi Maidan to give speeches”, said Prasad, who is seeking re-election from the Patna Sahib seat.
He added, “I urge people from across the state to join us in welcoming the Prime Minister. Residents of the city are known for their love for Modi. I appeal to them to decorate their houses with flowers on May 12.”
