New Delhi, Aug 22 Excitement and anticipation are running high in Bihar's Gaya as the holy city prepares to welcome Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is visiting on Friday to inaugurate and lay the foundation stone for development projects worth approximately Rs 13,000 crore.
The grand public event is set to take place at the Magadh University campus in Bodh Gaya, where a massive gathering is expected.

“We see him as the future of the nation, and from his perspective, the country’s future looks very bright,” said a young attendee waiting in the crowd.
The event in Gaya is part of the Prime Minister’s day-long visit to Bihar, during which he will inaugurate and lay the foundation stone of projects across sectors such as roads, railways, health, housing, and the Namami Gange mission.
Highlights include the flagging off of the Amrit Bharat Express train from Gaya to Delhi, the inauguration of the Muzaffarpur Cancer Hospital, and new infrastructure developments aimed at boosting regional connectivity.
Over two lakh party workers and supporters are expected to attend the public meeting. The event is being seen as a major political and administrative occasion ahead of the upcoming polls.
