PM Modi pays tributes to Sushil Kumar Modi at his residence in Patna

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday visited the residence of Sushil Kumar Modi, a senior BJP leader who died last week battling cancer in Patna, Bihar. Upon arriving in Patna, the PM drove straight to the residence of late Sushil Kumar Modi.

After condoling the bereaved family members, the PM reached the BJP's state headquarters to hold deliberations with party workers ahead of the last couple of phases of Lok Sabha elections.

The PM arrived in Patna, on his second



visit to the city within a week, in the thick of the Lok Sabha elections. PM Modi, who had last weekend held the city in thrall with a spectacular roadshow, was received at the airport by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Deputy CMs Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha.

He is scheduled to retire at the Raj Bhavan for the night and leave Tuesday morning for election rallies in Siwan and East Champaran districts. Tight security arrangements, including traffic restrictions, were in place across the city.
