A large number of leaders from the BJP, JD (U), and other partners of the NDA were present in the event.
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 as the country is gearing up for the last four phases of the general polls.
People, waiting for hours to have a glimpse of Modi from close range, showered petals on him as the road show progressed. He accepted the greetings and cheers of the huge crowds with folded hands, reported Indian news agency UNI
Modi's roadshow is expected to pass through Kadam Kuan, Bihar Hindi Sahitya Sammelan, Thakurbari Road, and Bakerganj before culminating near Udyog Bhawan Gandhi Maidan.
He will return to Rajbhawan from there for the night.
