Bihar’s politics has become ‘people-centric’ since the NDA government assumed power in the state and centre: PM Modi in Bhagalpur
While the previous governments ensured proper roads to their own homes, this ‘Chowkidar’ ensured that proper roads reach every village of Bihar: PM Modi
The NDA government is also actively strengthening the silk weaving community of Bhagalpur: Prime Minister Modi

 Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a large public meeting in Bhagalpur, Bihar today. 

Contrasting the tenure of the NDA in Bihar with that of other parties like the RJD and Congress, PM Modi said, “Over the years, people of Bihar saw the power of the politicians increase rapidly while the people remained helpless. However, Bihar has witnessed a change in this culture since the NDA and BJP governments assumed power in the state and centre respectively. Our politics is ‘people-centric’ and we have spent our terms empowering the most vulnerable and poor sections of society by providing them complete access to basic necessities like sanitation, electricity and clean cooking fuel.” 

PM Modi also spoke at length about the radical shift in India’s national security strategy under the BJP saying, “The whole nation remembers the times when the Congress was in power and terrorist attacks had become very common across the country. Yet despite all this, India took a soft approach against the terror sponsored by Pakistan under the Congress rule. I changed this policy and decided that any attack against us will be responded back in the same language.” 

 

 

 

 

Describing the key schemes initiated by the BJP government for the poor, Prime Minister Modi said, “While the previous governments ensured proper roads to their own homes, this ‘Chowkidar’ ensured that proper roads reach every village of Bihar. Although tall promises were made about farmer welfare before 2014, it was the NDA government that increased the Minimum Support Price (MSP) to one-and-half times the cost. We have taken several transformative steps in genuinely empowering our farmers.” He further added that the NDA government is also actively strengthening the silk weaving community of Bhagalpur and the recently established Mega Handloom Cluster will greatly empower the weavers and traders of Bhagalpur.
