Addressing a large rally in Motihari, East Champaran district, Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticised the Congress-RJD alliance, accusing them of neglecting Bihar’s development during their years in power and using the poor and socially disadvantaged communities as tools for political gain.
PM Modi Promises Employment Push And Development in Bihar, Targets RJD-Congress In Motihari
Ahead of the upcoming assembly elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused the RJD of failing to provide employment to the youth.
“The RJD can't think of giving jobs to the youth. They grabbed land from poor people before offering employment,” the prime minister said, referring to the alleged land-for-jobs scam during the RJD’s previous tenure.
Modi introduced a fresh campaign slogan, “Banayenge naya Bihar, phir ek baar NDA sarkar” (We will build a new Bihar, once again an NDA government).
He further asserted that the initiative Operation Sindoor, aimed at women’s safety and empowerment, had taken shape in Bihar and claimed that its success was visible to the world.
Criticizing previous governments, he said there was a “huge development gap” during the RJD-Congress rule with limited infrastructure growth, education access, and employment generation.
“They never worked for the betterment of the poor. They only indulged in politics in the name of the poor and the socially marginalised,” he said.
On the employment front, the Prime Minister reiterated the Centre’s commitment to creating job opportunities, announcing a planned investment of ₹1 lakh crore aimed at generating employment for youth across the country.
BJP-led NDA’s campaign hopes to maintain its hold amid a strong opposition challenge. The rally in Motihari is part of the BJP’s broader election outreach in Bihar, where elections are due later this year. The NDA currently governs the state in alliance with the JD(U), led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
