Narendra Modi roars in Nitish's land

Former fisheries minister Giriraj Singh of the BJP said on Saturday he expected a ‘spontaneous turnout of seven lakh people’ for the event, which will mark Modi’s debut appearance in Bihar after he was named his party’s PM nominee. The demand, Bihar BJP president Mangal Pandey said, also applied to the Koilwar Bridge, which links Patna with south-central Bihar and the Rajendra Bridge at Mokama, also across the Ganga. The latter is under repair and closed to heavy vehicles, at present.
