The oath-taking ceremony in Patna is expected to draw an estimated 2 to 3 lakh participants, making it one of the largest political gatherings in the state’s recent history. The organising coalition has mobilised volunteers to manage the crowds, distribute access passes and coordinate entry gates at Gandhi Maidan. Traffic and parking around the venue have been re-routed and restricted, with special lanes designated for VIPs, general public, media and support staff. Commuters are being advised to avoid key roads early in the day to minimise congestion. The scale of the event reflects both the political significance attached to the new government’s formation and the coalition’s intention to showcase mass support. Authorities have designated medical-aid posts, water-stations and portable toilets at the venue and its environs. Analysts suggest such mobilisation underscores the government’s desire to project strength and connectivity with the electorate at the very start of its term.
