Patna: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address 17 more rallies over the next six days in Bihar beginning tomorrow. Schedule for these rallies, ahead of the remaining three phases of polling, was detailed in advertisements placed by the party in newspapers today.
Ahead of the polls, sources in the party had said that the PM would address about seven to eight rallies before every phase. He had reportedly allotted two days before each phase to address a blitz of public meetings.
But citing the PM's absence from campaigning for almost nine days, the anti-BJP coalition had claimed that his rallies in Bihar were being cancelled because of the BJP's poor performance in the first two phases of elections.
"The BJP has been deflated. They are bringing Hema Malini now, as if she will get victory for them," RJD Chief Lalu Prasad had said. Mr Prasad's son and the party's candidate from Raghopur, Tejaswi Yadav, said, "The BJP is trying to decide whom they should pin the loss on."
The PM has already addressed nine rallies in the state for the first two phases. The current schedule means he will address a total of 26 rallies for Bihar, more than what he had addressed for Maharashtra. If the four rallies he addressed in the state before the announcement of polls ae added to this, it would make it a total of 30 rallies.
