Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to visit Bihar again next month to address a rally ahead of the upcoming state assembly polls, a senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader said on Sunday.
After the Muzaffarpur public rally, Modi is likely to address a public meeting in Gaya, about 100 km from here on August 9.
"It will be the second public meeting of Modi in Bihar and he may address more public meetings in the state ahead of the upcoming polls in October-November," said BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi, a former deputy chief minister of Bihar.
"Modi may address two public meetings in Bhagalpur and Purnea after Gaya. The Bihar unit of BJP has requested Modi to address at least three more rallies after Muzaffarpur," he added.
Modi addressed a public meeting in Muzaffarpur on July 25.
According to BJP leaders here, the party has decided to speed up its campaign aggressively to counter the grand alliance of Janata Dal-United, Rashtriya Janata Dal, Congress and Nationalist Congress Party.
On July 16, BJP president Amit Shah launched the party's high-tech 'Parivartan Rath' campaign for the upcoming Bihar assembly polls.
