Ara: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday announced package of Rs 1.25 lakh crore for Bihar promising that the state will touch new heights of development if the BJP is voted to power.
“I am here today to fulfill my promise to you. I am announcing a package of Rs 1.25 lakh crore for Bihar. Now you give me your blessings to change the fate of Bihar… Only development will benefit the state and eradicate its poverty. Bihar will touch new heights of development,” he said at a government function.
Modi also made it clear that the Rs 1.25 lakh crore package will be in addition to the ongoing development projects worth Rs 40657 cr, announced previously.
Modi also made a blistering attack on Bihar CM Nitish Kumar saying “Our chief minister said with authority that Bihar is no longer a BIMARU state. If it is true, then I will be the happiest person… Tell me, if somebody is healthy, will he go to a doctor… I am surprised that on the one hand, he says Bihar is not BIMARU, and on the other, he keeps asking for something or the other.”
