PM Modi Bihar Visit Live Updates: PM Modi launches Rs 36,000 crore projects; Nitish Kumar says will ‘remain with NDA’

Prime Minister Narendra Modi Monday inaugurated the 16th Combined Commanders’ Conference-2025 at Fort William, the headquarters of the Army’s Eastern Command, in West Bengal.

The Conference is a biennial, apex-level forum that brings together the nation’s top civilian and military leadership to discuss and strategise on India’s defense preparedness.

Bihar Assembly Leader of Opposition and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav, speaking to the reporters on Monday, said, “PM Modi is coming to Bihar, and I hope action will be taken against state Urban Development Minister Jivesh Mishra, who abused the mother and sister of a journalist for asking questions."

"I hope he will be removed from the state council of ministers and will be jailed. Is he not a son or brother of someone? Is PM Modi coming here just for votes? Is this not a ‘jungle raj’? PM Modi continues to rant about infiltrators…," Yadav told the media.

Earlier, during the press conference, Yadav alleged that Minister Jivesh Mishra misbehaved and abused a journalist for asking questions about road construction in his constituency, Jale in Darbhanga.

He had said, “This is what is happening in Bihar, and such is the law and order situation. Had there been equal law for everyone, why has no action been taken? The PM, the CM, and everyone in the government should explain what is happening in Bihar…”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi Sunday night took to X to share his arrival in West Bengal, where he will inaugurate a key defence meet in Fort William today.

"I have arrived in Kolkata after the programs in Assam, where tomorrow I will have the opportunity to participate in the Combined Commanders’ Conference. After that, I will go to Purnia in Bihar, where, along with the inauguration of the new terminal building of the airport, I will launch several development projects worth around 36,000 crore rupees," he wrote on X.
