Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) [India], May 30 (ANI): Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav welcomed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his proposed visit to the state capital Bhopal on Saturday on the occasion of the 300th birth anniversary of Devi Ahilyabai Holkar. PM Modi will address the 'Women Empowerment Maha Sammelan' program to be held at Jamboree Ground in the city on May 31, which will be centred on women. It is expected that around 2 lakh women will participate in the program from across the state. CM Yadav said, 'Tomorrow is Devi Ahilyabai Holkar's birth anniversary, and I welcome PM Modi arriving in the state on this occasion. There has not been such a big program centred on women in the state so far. I extend my greetings to women, and I would also like to invite people from the tribal community so that they can learn from the life of Devi Ahilyabai. Tribal history is quite rich in Madhya Pradesh, be it Rani Durgavati, Rani Avantibai or Rani Ahilyabai; every queen has not only given a new direction to Madhya Pradesh through her life, but also made society proud by showing pride in women.' He further explained that the PM's program centred on women has been designed in such a way that women will look after all the arrangements and management of the event. 'The program has been designed such that everything will be managed by our sisters. As a result of this, it will be an amazing program and such a program has not been done yet. Along with safety, women pilots will fly planes if needed, all the management and security systems will be monitored by sisters. Today, a women's bike rally was also held here. Our culture is women-oriented, we are the only country across the globe that says 'Bharat Mata ki Jai. It is equivalent to respect for the matriarchy. It is our glorious culture and I salute it.' Additionally, the Chief Minister wished that the almighty protect the culture from the evil eye and extended greetings that women should continuously move ahead in their lives in the state. (ANI)

PM Modi holds roadshow in Patna before meeting party leaders at BJP headquarters
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday (May 29, 2025) held a roadshow in Patna and later met party leaders and workers at state BJP headquarters in view of the upcoming Assembly elections, which are due in October-November later this year. This was PM Modi's third visit to Bihar in the last five months, since January 2025. Earlier, before setting off on his roadshow, PM Modi inaugurated the new integrated terminal building of Patna airport and Bihta civil airport, about 30 kms from Patna. Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Governor Arif Mohammad Khan and all top state BJP leaders were present at the Patna airport to welcome PM Modi.

However, unlike his last roadshow in Patna held in May 2024, PM Modi didn't come over his vehicle this time and kept waving from inside the vehicle towards gathered people flanking both sides of the road en route to the roadshow. Mostly women and youth holding tricolours and posters of PM Modi in hand had come to 'see' him in the sweltering summer heat, waiting for his arrival for hours. The six-km roadshow took nearly two hours for PM Modi's slow-moving convoy to reach BJP's state headquarters. Posters depicting 'Operation Sindoor' and PM Modi were prominently displayed en route to the roadshow. PM Modi is likely to visit the State again on June 20, though, said the state BJP leaders, the venue has not been decided yet. Later, he reached the party's state headquarters at Beerchand Patel Road and held a meeting with BJP leaders and workers in view of the upcoming State Assembly elections, which are due in October-November this year. Mr Modi will address a public meeting at Bikramganj in Rohtas district on May 30, where he is also expected to announce a ₹50 thousand crore project for the development of the state. PM Modi is scheduled to make an overnight stay at Raj Bhawan in Patna. 'PM Modi's roadshow was a historic moment for all of us and it was a huge success where over a lakh people had gathered on both sides of the road to welcome their leader,' said young party MLA and Urban Development and Housing Minister in Chief Minister Nitish Kumar-led cabinet Nitin Nabin, who has been made in charge of the roadshow in Patna. Earlier, PM Modi had visited the state in February and April and on May 4 recently this month, he had inaugurated the Khelo India Youth Games 2025 at the Patliputra Sports Complex in Patna through video conferencing. 'He (PM Modi) will be addressing a huge public rally tomorrow (May 30, 2025) at Bikramganj in Rohtas district, where, said former state party president and party MP Sanjay Jaiswal, who has been monitoring the PM's rally there, 'over 5 lakh people are expected to come'.
