New Delhi: While addressing voters, Nitish Kumar spoke about Bihar’s state before 2005. He reflected on Bihar’s condition before 2005. “In whatever circumstances we inherited Bihar, we managed it and worked for its development. Previously, being called a Bihari was an insult, but now it is a matter of honour,” he said.
He added, “We are continuously working for the development of Bihar. You have given us four chances… Please once again elect our candidate and form an NDA government. This will ensure an NDA government in Bihar and at the center. Bihar is continuously developing, and more development will follow.”
Worked for all the communities
In a video shared on Janta Dal (United)’s official X handle on Saturday, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said he inherited a state where being called a “Bihari” was considered an insult. He claimed his government changed this perception and urged people to help build a ‘new Bihar’ ahead of the upcoming elections.
A day after the NDA manifesto came out, the Bihar CM highlighted that under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, Bihar has seen growth and development, and the NDA aims for state’s overall development, in the video message.
He also emphasised that he has equally worked for all the communities. “I have not done anything for my own family. My entire Bihar is my family… I have worked for Hindus, Muslims, backward, extreme backward castes and religions,” he said, urging voters to support NDA candidates in the upcoming elections.
