In his first speech during the election campaign in Bihar, the national chairman of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), JP Nadda, said on Sunday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar have changed the police course of the state.
Applauding Modi for introducing progressive changes in sectors such as health and welfare, agriculture and education, Nadda said: “Modi hai toh mumkeen hai, Nitish (Kumar) hai toh pradesh aage badhega. (Modi makes it possible and Nitish’s leadership will carry the state forward). “
“The leadership of India is secured in the hands of Prime Minister Modi,” he said.
Nadda also praised the chief minister of Bihar for the combat strategy used against the coronavirus (Covid-19) crisis. “Chief Minister Nitish Kumar took care of people during the Covid-19 crisis. His government also provided financial assistance to those outside Bihar, ”the BJP leader said at the Gaya rally. Nadda also assured the people of Bihar that NDA will form the government in the state with Nitish Kumar as chief minister.
During his speech, the BJP chief fired on Congress and blamed the party for doing politics based on caste and religion in the state.
“Congress used to do politics on the basis of caste and religion. But Modi ji brought changes. He said, ‘Go to people with your work report card, show them the work that has been done.’ In the last five years, the Modi government has done a lot of work in the fields of education, skills development, welfare and health of farmers, ”added Nadda.
The BJP leader was addressing an electoral rally in Gaya. This was the first public meeting of a BJP leader in Bihar before the next assembly elections. Accompanied by Bihar’s Chief Deputy Minister Sushil Modi, Nadda first visited Patna’s Mahavir Temple upon arrival to seek blessings and offer prayer before the assembly elections.

Nadda also visited JP Awaas in Patna to mark Jayaprakash Narayan’s birthday anniversary and paid a floral tribute on his statue. “It is a great honor for me to have the opportunity to visit the residence of the great leader JP Narayan. When I was in college, JP Andolan kept going. His call for a complete revolution to protect democracy during the emergency period in 1975 heralded a new era, ”Nadda told ANI.
“He (JP Narayan) dedicated his whole life to the welfare of the people and farmers. His contribution to the construction of the nation will always be an inspiration to compatriots, ”he added.
