The administration is fully alert regarding the arrival of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The Patna district administration has made robust security arrangements. A large number of police forces have been deployed in the Danapur area. Drone cameras are being used to monitor the security arrangements, while a special plan has been prepared for traffic management to prevent any kind of disorder.
Enthusiasm Among BJP Workers
There is immense enthusiasm among BJP workers regarding Yogi Adityanath's arrival in Bihar. The entire cities of Patna and Saharsa have been adorned with saffron flags, banners, and hoardings. Workers say that Yogi Adityanath's visit will bring new zeal and energy to the election atmosphere. The BJP District President stated that CM Yogi's Bihar visit is a matter of pride for us. His presence in support of a grassroots leader like Ramkripal Yadav is a significant morale booster for the party.
The Danapur assembly seat is garnering significant attention this time. The BJP has once again reposed its faith in Ramkripal Yadav from this constituency. Ramkripal Yadav had contested the Lok Sabha elections from the Pataliputra parliamentary seat in 2019, where he lost to RJD's Misa Bharti. This time, the party has fielded him in the assembly elections.
Meanwhile, the RJD has nominated Ritlal Yadav as its candidate, who had defeated BJP candidate Asha Sinha in the last assembly elections. This time, Asha Sinha did not receive the ticket, leading her to express displeasure and announce her intention to contest as an independent candidate. This situation has set the stage for a triangular contest for the Danapur seat.
