Weeks after his two-day trip to Bihar, where assembly elections are due later this year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Siwan district on June 20 to address a rally, state BJP chief Dilip Kumar Jaiswal said on Friday.
The proposed trip will be the prime minister's third visit to Bihar since April 24, when he had toured Madhubani after the Pahalgam terror attack.
Modi was on a two-day visit to Patna and Bikramganj in Rohtas district on May 29 and 30, after Operation Sindoor, a retaliatory strike by India on Pakistan-based terror camps.

When Modi ji visits Bihar, the state gets gifts in the form of development and infrastructure projects and welfare schemes," Jaiswal told reporters.
