Prime Minister Narendra Modi unleashed an electrifying campaign blitz across Bihar on October 31, 2025, conducting high-powered rallies in Muzaffarpur and Chhapra as the NDA intensifies its aggressive push to secure a decisive victory in the state assembly elections.
The twin rallies in Muzaffarpur and Chhapra mark the third and fourth major campaign addresses by Modi in the Bihar election 2025 campaign. Following his initial rallies in Samastipur and Begusarai on October 24, Modi’s continued and consistent presence on the campaign trail underscores the strategic importance he and the BJP leadership assign to Bihar, India’s third most populous state.
Modi addressed a massive crowd in Muzaffarpur in the morning, energizing party workers and voters with his characteristic blend of development rhetoric and sharp political attacks. The rally showcased the organizational might of the BJP and its allies in mobilizing thousands of supporters across the state. Modi’s address focused on the developmental achievements of the NDA government at both the central and state levels, while simultaneously launching barbs at the opposition RJD-led Mahagathbandhan alliance.
Following the Muzaffarpur rally, Modi proceeded to Chhapra in the afternoon, where he again commanded a massive gathering of party supporters and voters. The back-to-back rallies underscore Modi’s personal commitment to the Bihar campaign, demonstrating that the NDA views the state as absolutely critical to its national political strategy.
In both rallies, Modi projected the NDA’s vision of a “double-engine government”—a concept emphasizing coordinated development through both central and state governments controlled by the NDA. He highlighted various welfare schemes launched by the Modi government, including PM Kisan (agricultural support), Ujjwala (LPG distribution), and various infrastructure projects that have benefited Bihar.
The Prime Minister leveraged the rallies to attack the opposition, particularly the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan alliance, for what he characterized as a history of governance failure and corruption. Modi’s campaign strategy centers on contrasting the NDA’s development agenda with what he describes as the opposition’s track record of misgovernance and regional politics.
Political observers have noted that Modi’s extensive personal involvement in the Bihar campaign reflects the BJP’s assessment that the state is strategically crucial for the NDA’s national ambitions. Bihar, with its large population and significant representation in Parliament, remains a critical battleground where the outcome can significantly impact national politics.
The rallies have energized BJP workers and volunteers, creating momentum that party leaders believe will translate into voting support. The enthusiastic reception Modi received in both cities has buoyed NDA leaders’ confidence about their prospects in the assembly election.
The opposition RJD and its allies have responded by intensifying their own campaign activities, with senior leaders addressing public meetings across the state. The election campaign in Bihar has become increasingly competitive, with both the NDA and opposition coalitions pulling out all stops to secure victory.
Modi’s campaign messaging emphasizes themes of national security, governance, and welfare delivery—issues he believes resonate with Bihar voters. He has consistently positioned the NDA as the force for development while portraying the opposition as mired in regional and caste politics.
The timing of Modi’s Bihar visits comes as the state faces significant political and administrative attention. Election commission officials have been deployed across the state to oversee the campaign and ensure fair elections. Multiple rounds of voting are scheduled across different phases of the assembly election.
Beyond the immediate electoral considerations, Modi’s extensive campaign presence in Bihar reflects broader BJP strategy to consolidate its position in eastern India. The NDA’s performance in Bihar has implications for the party’s expansion plans in neighboring states and its quest to establish a strong political presence across eastern and central India.
The opposition has criticized Modi’s rallies as creating unfair electoral advantages through the use of government machinery and resources. However, BJP leaders defend the practice by noting that opposition leaders also conduct frequent rallies across the state.
Senior NDA leaders, including members from coalition partners, have accompanied Modi in his rallies, presenting a show of unity and strength. The presence of leaders from all NDA constituents underscores the coalition’s commitment to securing a decisive victory in the state.
Election analysts predict that Bihar’s 2025 assembly election will be closely contested, with the outcome dependent on multiple factors including caste dynamics, regional aspirations, welfare program effectiveness, and the ability of parties to mobilize voters. The scale and intensity of Modi’s personal campaign involvement suggests that the BJP leadership views the contest as having implications beyond Bihar’s state politics.
Modi has scheduled additional campaign events in the coming days, with plans to address rallies in Ara and Navada, followed by a road show in Patna on November 2. This aggressive campaign schedule demonstrates the BJP’s determination to saturate the state with its messaging and energize its organization at the grassroots level.
The Bihar election campaign has already emerged as one of the most significant and closely watched contests in the country’s ongoing electoral cycle. The outcome will provide crucial insights into voter sentiment and political trends that will influence political calculations across India for the foreseeable future.
