This election is not only an opportunity to vote, but is the biggest festival of democracy, where people set the direction of development, good governance, and self-reliance of their state.”
Highlighting the achievements of the present government, he said, “Under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the leadership of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Bihar has established new dimensions of development, transparency and good governance. Progress in electricity, roads, education, health and employment reflects NDA’s commitment.”
