Sitamarhi, October 17 (IANS) Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, while addressing a public meeting at Dumra Airfield in Sitamarhi during the Bihar Assembly elections, launched a scathing political attack on the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Congress and accused them of making Bihar a den of corruption and nepotism.
The Chief Minister said, “RJD and Congress are synonymous with loot, corruption and betrayal of the poor of Bihar.”
Chief Minister Sharma said, “Due to the arrogance of power, they filled their coffers while the people faced problems.”
The Chief Minister emphasized that the NDA government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has fulfilled its election promises and is working tirelessly to build a developed and prosperous Bihar.
“Today, under the leadership of NDA, Bihar is growing at an impressive rate of 14 per cent and development is visible in all sectors,” he said.
Mithila is also called the land of faith, culture and knowledge.
Praising the cultural and spiritual heritage of Mithila, Chief Minister Sharma said, “This sacred land gave birth to Mata Janaki, and has been the ‘karma bhoomi’ of sages like Maharishi Yajnavalkya, Gargi and Maitreyi. Bihar is the epitome of wisdom in India. It is here that Lord Buddha attained enlightenment and Lord Mahavir spread the message of non-violence.”
Recalling the dark days of previous governments in Bihar, the Chief Minister said, “During the rule of Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi, Bihar witnessed ‘Jungle Raj’. Law and order in the state had completely collapsed. Crimes like kidnapping, rape, murder and dacoity were rampant. Roads were crumbling, education was in disarray and healthcare had collapsed. Our youth had no option but to migrate to other states.” Looking for employment.”
Chief Minister Sharma credited the NDA government for restoring law and order in Bihar and leading the development of infrastructure.
He said, “Thousands of kilometers of roads have been constructed and free higher education is being provided to daughters. Lakhs of women have become self-reliant through the Jeevika scheme.”
He also highlighted the development of Darbhanga airport, which has opened new opportunities for the people of Mithila, Kosi and Seemanchal, and talked about the revival of Punaura Dham with the construction of Maa Janaki temple on the lines of Ram temple.
The Chief Minister affirmed that guided by the Prime Minister’s vision of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas”, Bihar is on its way to becoming a developed state.
He said, “More than 74 lakh farmers in Bihar have benefited from the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. Makhana Board has been formed to boost the agricultural potential of Mithila. 35 per cent reservation has been given to women in jobs. Bihar has received 125 units of free electricity, and six million families have been provided permanent houses under the PM Awas Yojana.”
Comparing the assistance provided by previous governments in Bihar, the Chief Minister said, “While the UPA government provided only Rs 2 lakh crore in 10 years, Prime Minister Modi has provided Rs 14.85 lakh crore for the development of Bihar.”
Warning about the dangers posed by illegal infiltration in Bihar, Chief Minister Sharma said, “Infiltrators are misusing Bihar’s resources, snatching jobs and exploiting government schemes. But those doing appeasement politics want to keep it hidden. The NDA government is committed to protecting the resources of Bihar and will not tolerate infiltration.”
Urging the people to support the NDA candidates in the upcoming Bihar polls, Chief Minister Sharma said, “To further boost Bihar’s development, ensure a decisive victory for BJP candidates — Anil Kumar Ram (Bathnaha), Gayatri Devi (Parihar), Baidyanath Prasad (Riga), Sunil Kumar Pintu (Sitamarhi), and Nagendra Raut (Sursand).”
He concluded, “These (BJP) leaders will work for development, education, employment, security and prosperity in Bihar.”
Many public representatives and a large number of BJP supporters including Union New and Renewable Energy Minister Prahlad Joshi, Sitamarhi MP Devesh Chandra Thakur, Dharamsheela Gupta, Damodar Aggarwal, Jugal Kishore Sharma, Bihar Minister Moti Lal Prasad and Rajasthan Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Avinash Gehlot participated in the rally.
