Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday inaugurated a new terminal at Patna airport. He was accompanied by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and the Civil Aviation Minister.
00:00Minister Narendra Modi after Bengal is in Bihar now ahead of elections in Bihar crucial visit
00:09let's cut across to these visuals he's landed at the Patna airport and then back with the
00:15tourism minister he's presently with he's currently in Patna so I correct myself civil
00:21aviation minister he's there and Prime Minister Modi's inaugurating this new terminal with
00:28Kinjarapu Ramohan Naidu and with the Minister Prime Minister Modi is also inaugurating of course
00:33Chief Minister Into Nitesh Kumar this is reflective basically of an infrastructure push we are
00:39inaugurating new terminals we are going ahead with the infrastructure push for the state of Bihar
00:45and remember Bihar long has faced the criticism that it is one of those underdeveloped backward
00:50states and therefore it's a push now it's a double engine sarkar at the centre at the state of the
00:55NDA and therefore with the civil aviation minister with the chief minister alongside it's reflective
01:01of how there's been an infrastructure push there are four states that Prime Minister Modi is visiting
01:06it started with Sikkim which he could not visit because of inclement weather then to Bengal again
01:11crucial state Mamata Banerjee charged at him he made a lot of mentions with regard to the border state
01:17to Pakistan Operation Sindhu as well and then by evening he is in Bihar all smiles body language
01:25between Nitesh Kumar and Prime Minister Modi smiles friendship and of course remember a certain
01:31bonhomie they need to take this together is India looking good for Bihar as of now it appears so but
01:38remember there is Congress in RJD and they will also of course want to amp up their share with
01:44regard to how 2025 elections are looking like state assembly elections are scheduled in Bihar this year
01:49one of the most crucial states in many ways as much whether we talk of the northern states the Hindi
01:56belt and so on and so forth so that's the latest visual coming in from Patna in Bihar we'll go across
02:03to more visuals and details because in Bengal Prime Minister Modi was very fiery so as of now he's not
02:11expected to speak in Patna but we'll see how this goes remember there are this election is going to be
02:19crucial there is also whether it's the Jan Suraj chief Prashant Kishore who's jumped in there is the
02:25RJD dominant in Bihar politics they'll want to return to power they were in government in alliance with
02:34the JDU of course that alliance broke that's when Nitish Kumar returned to the NDA fold so right now
02:40remember it is as much a survival for Nitish Kumar for his party's politics and for other parties like
02:46the RJD as well but Prime Minister Modi therefore inaugurating the slew of projects and at this
02:52juncture this is the focus of the BJP of the NDA against the Mahagat Bandhan in Bihar that they'll push
03:00the state with Vikas I want to immediately bring in Rohit Singh joining me from Patna Rohit Prime Minister
03:07Modi in your home state what is on agenda and I'm sure the opposition is already ready to target him
03:14where are you show us around
03:16well right now I am at one of the locations of the road show which will start in some time from now
03:27right now Prime Minister Narendra Modi is at the Patna airport and he is inaugurating the new building
03:34the new terminal of the Patna airport and after that event is over then starts the seven kilometer long
03:42road show from Patna airport till the BJP state office in Patna and let me tell you this is for
03:50the first time that in the last 11 years that Prime Minister will be in Patna and visiting the BJP state
03:57office because prior to this he has never visited the state BJP office so this is the first time that
04:01he'll be doing this and right now you can see there's all around the road has been completely cleared
04:08and the road show will begin soon after the inauguration of the airport and thousands of
04:13people have already gathered here along the route of the road show all wanting to get a glimpse of
04:22Prime Minister and Narendra Modi which will turn on screen stay on with me stay on with the Prime
04:26Minister Narendra Modi cavalcade has started to leave again Operation Sindhu Rohit is clearly the
04:33highlight exactly how we saw in Gujarat now interestingly if I can notice unlike in Vadodara he's not
04:39standing at the door of the vehicle possibly because of security reasons but he's ensuring that he
04:45continues to wave and greet but I see a lot of Operation Sindhu mention with regard to the women wearing the
04:51red saree Operation Sindhu posters would that be correct to say Rohit that Operation Sindhu backdrop
04:57will be seen here in Patna as well especially ahead of elections
05:00absolutely we have filed reports also since morning that along the route of the road show
05:11several banners posters of Operation Sindhu has been put up and also replicas of the fighter plane
05:19the BrahMos missile that has also been put up at a lot of platforms and stages that have been set up along the route of the road show
05:28so it's very much obvious that Operation Sindhu continues to remain the focus and you'll see patriotic songs are also being played out here and in some point very soon we will be getting a glimpse of the Prime Minister who will be starting his road show and after the road show is over he will be there at the BJP
05:49office and at the BJP office he'll be there for around 45 minutes to one hour and he will be holding election meeting with all the party MPs, MLAs, MLCs and top office bearers so elections also on the mind and therefore an election meeting will be taking place and after that around about 8 o'clock Prime Minister will be heading to Raj Bhavan where he will be taking rest tonight and next tomorrow morning at around 10 o'clock he will be holding a big public meeting in Vikramganj that is in
06:19Rohtas district so it's a two day schedule and as far as today is concerned the first agenda is the inauguration of the new airport then the new in fact the terminal of the airport then the road show a seven kilometer long route road show and then an election meeting at the BJP headquarters
