Sun Apr 13 00:56:44 UTC 2025: ## BJP Strategizes for Bihar Assembly Elections Ahead of Modi’s Visit

**Patna, Bihar –** Senior BJP leader and Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan convened a high-level meeting of the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Bihar on Saturday, April 12th, to strategize for the upcoming state assembly elections. The meeting, attended by key figures from the BJP, Janata Dal (United) (JD(U)), Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular), and Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM), focused on ensuring an NDA victory.

The meeting specifically targeted leaders from ten districts in the Mithila region, coinciding with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s scheduled visit to Madhubani on April 24th. These districts, currently holding all Lok Sabha seats for the NDA, encompass over 65 assembly constituencies. Chouhan urged the leaders to replicate their Lok Sabha success in the upcoming assembly polls.

Modi’s visit, which will also include addressing Panchayat representatives on National Panchayati Raj Day, is expected to be a major event. Chouhan described the visit as crucial, anticipating the announcement of numerous development schemes for Bihar. The focus on Madhubani, known for its renowned Mithila paintings, highlights the region’s electoral importance, even though it was once considered an RJD stronghold.

While Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary reaffirmed Nitish Kumar’s continued leadership of the NDA, JD(U) leader Rajiv Ranjan Singh’s response to questions about Modi’s unifying message was terse, emphasizing the PM’s participation in Panchayat Diwas as the primary purpose of his visit. The BJP aims to capitalize on Modi’s visit and the NDA’s current Lok Sabha dominance to secure a strong showing in the October-November assembly elections.
