The Bihar government faced unusual and challenging situations when the electricity supply unexpectedly failed twice during the Prime Minister's road show in Patna, according to reports. Fortunately, the moment of failure was not at the very end of the event, allowing organisers to adapt. However, the officials responsible for law enforcement, crowd control, and the Prime Minister's security detail initially panicked and quickly switched to alternative arrangements to ensure the event's continuation and safety.
Throughout the campaign, BJP leaders had joked about the use of traditional lanterns in the modern era. Yet, faced with unforeseen power outages, they had to resort to these simple, traditional solutions, the source says. This situation also provided an opportunity for the opposition RJD to reflect on their past claims of development and infrastructure improvements, highlighting the enduring usefulness of basic tools like lanterns in unforeseen circumstances, according to the sources.
