Ahead of the upcoming assembly elections in Jharkhand, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to hold a mega roadshow in Ranchi on Sunday.

Assam Chief Minister and Jharkhand BJP co-in-charge Himanta Biswa Sarma announced that Prime Minister Modi will hold a ‘historic’ 3 km roadshow in Ranchi.

“PM Modi will hold a historic 3 km roadshow in Ranchi, where a large number of people are expected to show up. It will be a historic moment,” Sarma said, ANI reported.

A number of senior BJP leaders will also join the roadshow.

Last week, PM Modi addressed rallies in Chaibasa and Garhwa on November 5, a day after Union Home Minister Amit Shah released the BJP’s manifesto for Jharkhand assembly polls.
