Narendra Modi started his address by paying tribute to Bihar’s ace politician and former RJD leader Raghuvansh Prasad Singh who died on Sunday morning of the post-COVID complications.
बिहार के लोकप्रिय नेता रघुवंश प्रसाद सिंह जी के निधन से अत्यंत दुख हुआ है। उनका जीवन बिहार के विकास के लिए समर्पित रहा। उन्होंने हमेशा सामाजिक जीवन के उच्च आदर्शों का पालन किया। ईश्वर उनकी आत्मा को शांति प्रदान करे एवं शोक की इस घड़ी में परिजनों-प्रशंसकों को संबल दे। ओम शांति! pic.twitter.com/TtCzVoI8Uq

During his address to the people of Bihar and India, PM Narendra Modi said that Bihar has for long been a victim of a peculiar mindset. He mentioned examples like when the road projects were announced, local politicians would frown upon and used to ask what do these have to offer to those who walk on foot and do not have vehicles. Modi said that the same mindset also impacted the state’s education systems.
Further, he praised Bihar’s Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and said that the last 15 years have been of Sushasan. Infrastructure has improved. New medical and engineering colleges, law institutes, and polytechnics have come up. Modi also added that Nitish Kumar has a very important role to play in ensuring that the process continues.
Eventually, the Bhartiya Janata Party’s national prudent J P Nadda had announced that the NDA will jointly contest the elections in Bihar and JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar shall remain NDA’s face for the post of Chief Minister.
