Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, on Saturday, addressed a public rally at Motihari, Bihar, in support of NDA candidate Pramod Kumar, launching a sharp attack on Congress and RJD.
He said that the first phase of voting had already made it clear that Bihar no longer wants the dim light of the lantern but a Bihar glowing with NDA’s LED light.
He added that on November 14, when the results come, once again, a government of good governance, development, and security will be formed under NDA. Bihar needs a government of development, not of criminals, he stated.
Addressing the rally, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said this is the land that gave refuge to Mata Sita, the land that turned Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi into Mahatma Gandhi, and the land that showed India the path to independence.
This land of Satyagraha has never hesitated to take up arms for national defence.
He said this land has been the stream of knowledge of Nalanda, and home to great personalities like Acharya Chanakya, Aryabhata, Lord Buddha, and Lord Mahavira. Yet, Bihar lagged behind in literacy, a sin of Congress and RJD governments, he said. They exploited Bihar’s intelligence and talent, keeping the state backward for their own selfish interests, he added.
CM Yogi said the NDA government under Nitish Kumar’s leadership has provided Bihar with stability, security, and good governance.
He said Bihar today has a strong road network, railways, airports, inland waterways, and metro facilities. Now, institutions like IIT, NIT, IIM, AIIMS, and medical colleges are opening across the state. He added that investment only comes where there is security. If a criminal wins, investors will flee, security will collapse, and youth will once again migrate. Bihar needs a government of development, not of criminals, he said.
