Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Bihar for the fourth time this year on June 20, continuing his campaign efforts ahead of the upcoming state elections. His rally in Siwan, a known stronghold of the opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), marks his seventh visit to Bihar since taking oath for his third term as Prime Minister in June 2024. The BJP leadership is actively preparing for the event, with senior party leaders recently inspecting the rally arrangements in Siwan.

Siwan holds significant political importance due to its historical association with the late Mohammad Shahabuddin, a former RJD MP known for his strong influence in the region. The area remains a key battleground as the BJP aims to make inroads into opposition-dominated zones. Modi has already addressed rallies this year in Bhagalpur, Madhubani, and Bikramganj, areas where the opposition performed well in previous elections. The state is divided into nine major regions for administrative and electoral strategies, with Shahabad and Magadh regions presenting challenges due to their strong opposition presence.

To boost its chances, the BJP and its allies in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) are focusing on coordination across parties like JD(U), LJP(RV), HAM, and RLM. Prominent leaders such as Chirag Paswan, Jitan Ram Manjhi, and Upendra Kushwaha are involved in strengthening the NDA’s campaign in these crucial regions. Ahead of the rally, Modi is expected to announce new development projects aimed at winning voter support and improving the NDA’s seat tally in opposition-leaning constituencies across Bihar.
