The PM also held a roadshow in the city, where he was accompanied by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Sinha. He also flagged off two trains, the Amrit Bharat Express and the Buddhist Circuit Train. While the Amrit Bharat train will run between Gaya and Delhi, the Buddhist Circuit Train will run between Vaishali and Koderma. The Buddhist Circuit Train will boost tourism and religious travel in the state.
PM Narendra Modi had attacked the RJD during his rally in Gaya. He had called the RJD rule in the state an "era of darkness." He said that cities like Gaya were pushed into darkness during rule of 'lantern', referring to RJD's election symbol. RJD considers people of Bihar just as vote banks, said the PM.
