Prime Minister Narendra Modi will kickstart the Bharatiya Janata Party's campaign for the Bihar polls today.
The Prime Minister will participate in several programmes in Patna and reportedly address a 'Parivartan' rally at Muzaffarpur.
He will also inaugurate the ambitious 'Deen Dayal Upadhyay Gramjyoti Yojana'.
Meanwhile, the ruling Janata Dal United JD (U) has put up posters across the city which proclaim, "Jhanse main na ayenge, Nitish ko jitayenge (We won't be fooled, will elect Nitish)".
This is Prime Minister Modi's first visit to the state after he assumed office last year.
