Mahadangal: PM Modi’s Bihar Visit Draws Fire From Opposition Leaders | ABP NEWS

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Purnia, Bihar, just months before the state assembly elections, has triggered a political storm. Addressing a large rally, PM Modi announced development projects worth ₹35,561 crore, including the long-awaited notification for the Makhana Board. Seen as a strategic move to woo the Seemanchal region, which holds 24 Muslim-majority seats, the visit has drawn sharp criticism from the opposition. RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav accused the PM of “fooling Bihar” with pre-election promises, while Lalu Yadav mocked the visit as a “jumla rain.” Congress too labeled the announcements as “dust in voters’ eyes.” Meanwhile, BJP leaders argue that every Modi visit brings real progress and tangible investments to the state. The political temperature is rising as all parties begin positioning themselves for an intense electoral battle. While PM Modi highlights infrastructure, connectivity, and local industries, the opposition questions the lack of focus on jobs, education, and migration. With the election date announcement looming, this visit may set the tone for a highly polarized campaign. The key question remains: Will development packages turn into votes, or will the opposition narrative of “election-time attention” gain more ground?
