00:00Prime Minister Narendra Modi who is in fact in a political rally as you can see in these pictures
00:05coming in from Bihar today where Prime Minister Modi is sounding the poll bugle.
00:12Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the state of Bihar today as you can see in these pictures.
00:18The poll-bound state essentially is where the Prime Minister is.
00:22It's a campaign launch, the BJP's campaign launch in the state of Bihar today.
00:30The Prime Minister is in the state today all set to unveil
00:59multiple airport projects at the tune to the tune of 7,200 crore.
01:06He's also going to be addressing a public function.
01:08And at Motihari, he's inaugurating and laying the foundation stone on multiple development projects.
01:16The Prime Minister has spoken about it as well.
01:18This is a public road rally that you're seeing on your screens at this point in time.
01:24He spoke about development projects worth over 7,200 crore will be dedicated to the nation
01:31where the foundation stones would be laid.
01:33This would cover, he said, our fair technology parks, four new Amrit Bharat trains, road projects and much more.
01:40He would be addressing a public function, is what we know.
01:46It's in connection with the various development projects the Prime Minister is going to be laying the foundation stone off.
01:55It caters to railway, road road development, fisheries, electronics and information technology sectors.
02:01Sounding the poll bugle in the state today, also with the commitment of the government to boost connectivity and infrastructure,
02:11the Prime Minister, a statement reads, would be dedicating to the nation multiple rail projects.
02:17This is from the Prime Minister's office speaking about various projects that are going to be inaugurated.
02:21This includes automatic signalling between areas and will enable train operations in several other sections.
02:31The Prime Minister will be laying the foundation stone for multiple rail projects for maintenance of Vande Bharat trains at Patliputra
02:41and also automatic signalling to enable streamlined train operations.
02:48In a major boost to the road infrastructure in the region, the Prime Minister would be laying the foundation stone for four-lanning of ARA bypass.
03:04Also inaugurating the new software technology parks of India, Indarbhanga and the state-of-art incubation facility at Patna.
03:15Rohit Singh is with us for the very latest on that.
03:17These are pictures from Motihari where the Prime Minister is today.
03:21Of course, Rohit sounding the poll bugle in the state with a series of development projects getting initiated.
03:27The foundation stones of the same being laid by Prime Minister Narendra Modi today.
03:32Rohit.
03:37Well, yes, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has arrived at Gandhi Maidan in Motihari.
03:43And he has just come out of his chopper and is now moving towards the main stage where the event has been organized.
03:50And as usual, we can see him that it's like a road show which is going on in an open jeep.
03:56Prime Minister is being taken to the main dais where he will be addressing the gathering in a short while from now.
04:04And with him, we can see Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Deputy CM Samrat Chaudhary also with him.
04:12And he is getting a rousing reception in Motihari.
04:16And this has been the case in his previous occasions also when Prime Minister has come to Bihar.
04:23And this is his fifth visit. Remember, his fifth visit to Bihar this year.
04:27And the third visit in the last 50 days.
04:30So, you can really gauge the fact from the fact that how important Bihar is for the BJP.
04:37But of course, in the BJP scheme of things, as in other parties, given that the state is poll-bound.
04:42From Motihari, Bihar, Prime Minister Modi along with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
04:46Mission Jamparan, Mission Bihar.
04:48Promises have been made.
04:49This is the double-engined Sarkar you are looking at.
04:53They are focusing on their achievements.
04:55That they have been able to bring change and vikas in Bihar.
04:58And that it needs to continue.
05:00Opposition says that there has been complete lawlessness.
05:03Especially what we have seen in the past few days.
05:05But look at this.
05:06The shower of flowers.
05:08A packed crowd.
05:09Prime Minister Modi consistently returning to Bihar.
05:12To be seen with Nitish Kumar, the Chief Minister.
05:15And showcase how, whether it's brand Modi.
05:17Or for Bihar brand Nitish.
05:19Or the double-engined Sarkar, that they can continue to return.
05:23This is going to be important, remember.
05:25For a state as crucial as Bihar, where you need a coalition.
05:28In the past few decades we have seen, a single party has not been able to win elections in the Bihar Assembly.
05:34So, for the NDA as much, the BJP depending on the JDU, vice versa.
05:41For the opposition as much, the Congress, RJD depending on each other as well.
05:45However, while it appears that NDA may still have an edge, opposition also has been working extremely hard.
05:54Whether it's political showdown, throwing jibes at PM Modi and Nitish Kumar.
05:59It's going to be a scathing contest in Bihar.
06:01Let's go across now to my colleague Rohit Singh for the latest on that.
06:05And remember for Bihar, it isn't just about Patna.
06:08Whether it's Motihari, whether it's the interiors, they are as important.
06:13Rohit, tell us about Motihari.
06:15Why do you think Prime Minister Modi and Nitish Kumar have chosen this specific location?
06:20And what is the itinerary looking like today?
06:26Well, see, Prime Minister has now started touring Bihar very frequently.
06:32In the last six months, we can say, this is his fifth visit to Bihar.
06:37And in the last 50 days only, we are seeing that this is the third time a Prime Minister is coming to Bihar.
06:43And Motihari, which has been the Karam Bhoomi of Mahatma Gandhi,
06:48this is where Prime Minister is presented today.
06:51And this is his fourth visit to Motihari in the last 11 years.
06:55And you can see, as the Prime Minister has arrived in Motihari,
06:58he's getting a rousing reception from the audience,
07:01from the people who are present there to attend the rally.
07:04And it's like a roadshow which is going on,
07:07as has been the case often,
07:09where the Prime Minister is being accompanied by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on one side
07:14and Deputy CM Samrat Chaudhary on the other side.
07:18And he is being taken to the stage in an open jeep.
07:23And in a short while from now,
07:25Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be inaugurating projects and schemes
07:29worth more than 7,000 crore rupees for the development and welfare schemes for Bihar.
07:35And remember, whenever Prime Minister is in Bihar,
07:38he is inaugurating a lot of projects
07:40and also giving new things to the people of Bihar for this development.
07:47And this is happening this time also.
07:49And interestingly, let me tell you, Pooja,
07:51this time when the Prime Minister is in Motihari and he has come to Bihar,
07:56things are a little different.
07:57Last time when he was in Siwan on 20th of June,
08:00things were different.
08:01But in the last one month or so,
08:02you can see a lot of political development as far as it has taken place.
08:07Most importantly,
08:08two things very important that have happened in Bihar in the last one month
08:11is the special intensive revision of the voter list that has started
08:15and which is like almost on the verge of a conclusion now.
08:19In the next four or five days, we will see that.
08:21That is a very important and key issue
08:23which has really raised a lot of eyebrows in Bihar opposition
08:27completely going out and attacking the election commission
08:33for trying to help the BJP in these elections.
08:38They are alleging, in fact,
08:39Ejasvi Adav, every day we are seeing that he is hitting out at the election commission
08:43raising the issue of SIR.
08:45And secondly, the increase in crime graph.
08:47In the last 20 days,
08:49you can see several incidents of murders in Bihar,
08:51in Patna as well as in neighboring districts that have taken place.
08:54So, crime and also the SIR,
08:57the two important things that are right now making headlines in Bihar.
09:01So, very interesting to see today
09:03when the Prime Minister will be addressing this gathering in Motihari.
09:06Will he make any reference to the special intensive revision that is going on?
09:11And also, what will be his take on the crime issue?
09:15Because Tejasvi Adav and Nalu Prasad have already set the agenda
09:19before the Prime Minister arrived in Motihari.
09:22Good point, good point, Rohit.
09:24Because will there be possibly a clarification that could come in,
09:27a defense for election commission from Prime Minister Modi?
09:30Because that's been a big debate, a huge controversy as well.
09:33And of course, as the opposition is gunning over lawlessness incidents,
09:38will he speak on that too?
09:40Stay on with me, Rohit.
09:41Let's dip in to the visuals on our screen.
09:43Modi, Modi, consistent chanting on the ground.
09:46Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi.
09:55Tell you, ladies and gentlemen,
09:56this is the 53rd visit to Bihar as Prime Minister for Prime Minister Modi.
10:02So, over 50 visits already to Bihar in the past few years.
10:05But even within one month,
10:07this is the second visit already of Prime Minister Modi.
10:10Projects this time will be about 7,200 crore rupees that will be announced.
10:17And this is despite, of course, we know there's been a monsoon season.
10:21We know that a lot has been happening in Bihar.
10:24But projects are going to be launched as well.
10:26I want to bring in Rohit again.
10:28Rohit, what kind of projects are you looking at this time?
10:32Again, will it be infrastructure?
10:34I hear there's going to be Amrit Bharat Express trains as well.
10:38Very crucial for Bihar.
10:39A state of migration also, as it is called.
10:42So, with this 7,200 crore rupees investment,
10:46what are we looking at?
10:47What is in it for Bihar?
10:58I'll come back to you, Rohit, in just a short while.
11:01You're looking at the Gandhi Maidhan in Motehari.
11:06This is a legendary, historic venue.
11:08The venue is very important, viewer.
11:10This was the place, as believed, in Champaran,
11:13from where Mahatma Gandhi launched the Indigo movement
11:15against the British in 1917.
11:19And therefore, that is where this big movement
11:22that we had seen in Bihar.
11:23Bihar has been a state of,
11:26whether it's rebellion, politics,
11:28political awareness and more.
11:30And of course, historical relevance as much.
11:33Whether it's as historic as the Nalanda
11:35or perhaps as recent as the freedom movement.
11:38So, therefore, specific locations that have been chosen.
11:41And we'll come to Prime Minister Modi
11:44and Nitesh Kumar in Bihar
11:45when PM Modi addresses the country.
11:47Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi, Modi
