A delegation of diplomats from seven countries is visiting Bihar on Sunday as part of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) outreach initiative, “Know BJP,” launched by the party’s national President J.P. Nadda. The two-day visit, from November 2 to 3, aims to allow the diplomats to observe the BJP’s election campaign in the state and to gain insights into India’s democratic and electoral processes at the grassroots level.
The BJP’s press release indicates that the delegation consists of representatives from the Embassies and High Commissions of Japan, Indonesia, Denmark, Australia, the United Kingdom, Bhutan, and South Africa. During their visit, the diplomats will interact with senior BJP leaders, observe campaign activities, and explore key constituencies to understand how the party engages with voters and manages large-scale election campaigns.
According to the statement, “The visit aims to familiarise the diplomats with the functioning, outreach, and organisational strength of the BJP, as well as to provide an on-ground understanding of India’s electoral engagement at the grassroots level.”
The diplomats are scheduled to visit several constituencies in Patna, Nalanda, and Gaya, where they will witness rallies, campaign meetings, and booth-level coordination efforts. Senior BJP officials are expected to brief the delegation on the party’s digital outreach, volunteer structure, and campaign strategy for the ongoing Bihar Assembly elections.
This visit comes just days before the first phase of polling on November 6, with subsequent rounds on November 11 and vote counting on November 14, as the state approaches a closely contested assembly election.
Additionally, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will also be in Bihar on Sunday for a one-day election campaign. He plans to address two back-to-back rallies: the first in Arrah at 1:30 p.m., followed by a second in Nawada at 3:30 p.m. After returning to Patna around 5 p.m., the Prime Minister will pay floral tribute at the statue of Rashtrakavi Ramdhari Singh Dinkar. At 5:30 p.m., he will participate in a grand roadshow in Patna to support NDA candidates.
