"Discussions were held on PM Modi's upcoming visit to Bihar": BJP leader Sanjay Jaiswal

Patna (Bihar) [India], January 27 : BJP leader Sanjay Jaiswal said on Saturday that discussions were held on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's upcoming visit to Bihar in the party's state core committee meeting in Patna.
Sanjay Jaiswal, also the former Bihar BJP chief, said that the Prime Minister will visit Bettiah in West Champaran district on February 4.
"PM Modi will come to Bettiah on February 4. Detailed discussions were held regarding that. This is a big event for people in Bihar. The public in Champaran is excited. I urged the senior party leaders in Bihar to be present there. We are expecting more than 2 lakh people in Bettiah," he said.
Bihar BJP leaders have scheduled a meeting over the weekend in Patna amid the current political situation in the state, with speculations rising about the possible realignment of the Nitish Kumar-led JDU with the NDA.
Earlier today, the leaders of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) gathered at party supremo Lalu Prasad's home in Patna for an emergency meeting convened by Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav.
Besides Lalu Prasad and his wife, Rabri Devi, a former chief minister, the meeting was attended by senior leaders, including members of the state legislature.
According to sources, Tejashwi Yadav told the leaders of the party present at the meeting that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is "respectable" but there were many factors that were not under his "control."
With the recent reports that the Bihar CM is poised to shift his allegiance, the unity of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA), the 28-party opposition bloc formed to take on the BJP-led central government, appears to be in jeopardy.
Nitish Kumar, after parting ways with the BJP in 2022, took on the initiative of uniting all opposition forces to jointly take on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the ruling party in the national election.
