Modi set for rallies' record in Bihar polls

Acknowledged as a master orator by both followers and political adversaries alike, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is poised to set a record ahead of the Bihar assembly elections: He is likely to end up addressing around 40 rallies as the star campaigner of the BJP-led NDA.

No prime minister before Modi has ever visited Bihar more than two-three times during assembly elections in the past.

Modi is scheduled to stay at the Raj Bhavan here on Thursday night after addressing four rallies in Begusarai, Nawada, Samastipur and Munger districts. The prime minister will address two more rallies in Sasaram and Aurangabad on Friday.

"Even during campaigning for the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, when stakes were high for Modi, he returned to Gujarat by late evenings or night after addressing rallies in different parts of the country. He has never stayed back in the state where assembly polls have been held in the last one year. It would be interesting to know why Modi is so much desperate for Bihar polls," said Anis Ankur, a socio-political analyst. more
