Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit the Rajapakar block in north Bihar’s Vaishali district on November 21, 2026 to mark the completion of one year of the incumbent National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government in the State.

During his visit, Mr. Modi is expected to inaugurate the six-lane, 9.76 km cable-stayed Kacchi Dargah-Bidupur bridge over the Ganga river, which connects Kacchi Dargah in the Deedarganj area of South Patna district to Bidupur near Hajipur in Vaishali district through the Raghopur diara (riverine) area. He will also lay the foundation stone for several projects in the State, including a park for which the State government has acquired 1,243 acres of land in Vaishali district.

On Monday (November 9, 2026), NDA leaders met and addressed media persons at the office of NDA ally Janata Dal-United (JD-U). Mr. Modi’s upcoming visit would prove a milestone in Bihar’s industrial development, they said.

“The government will be holding a big event on November 20 at the Jaffarpatti industrial area in Vaishali district on the completion of the NDA government’s one year in office in Bihar, which PM Modi has consented to attend,” State BJP president Sanjay Saraogi said, adding, “On this day, a new chapter in Bihar’s industrial growth will be written from the historical land of Vaishali.”

Leaders from all five NDA coalition partners — the BJP, the JD(U), the Hindustani Awam Morcha-Secular (HAM-S), the Lok Janshakti Party-Ram Vilas (LJP-RV), and the Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM) — were present at the meeting.

The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) accused the Centre of taking credit for projects started by others. “PM Modi is coming to inaugurate the six-lane Kacchi Dargah-Bidupur bridge but the project was initiated by the mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) government when I was the Deputy Chief Minister in 2015,” RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, the Leader of the Opposition in the Bihar Assembly, said. “We did the work but someone else is cutting the ribbon,” Mr. Yadav, three-time MLA from Raghopur in Vaishali district, alleged.

The winter session of the Bihar Assembly is scheduled to commence on November 30 and will conclude on December 4, 2026. The upcoming brief yet crucial session of the Assembly will have five sittings in five days, with the Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary-led government set to present the second supplementary Budget for financial year 2026-27.

The supplementary Budget is likely to be discussed on December 3. The appropriation Bill related to it will also be introduced and processed on the same day. Several legislative Bills and other official business have also been lined up for the winter session of the Assembly.
