The election atmosphere has already arrived in Bihar. For the past few months, the central government has opened its treasury for Bihar. In this sequence, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has once again reached Bihar, where he inaugurated several projects worth ₹12,992 crore. This includes a 6-lane bridge over the Ganga. Additionally, the Buddha Circuit train between Vaishali and Kodarma was also launched. The Prime Minister targeted the opposition, and also clarified his intentions regarding the Demography Mission. This visit by Prime Minister Modi before the Bihar elections is significant. By gifting development from Bodh Gaya to Begusarai, the PM has tried to win over the entire Bihar from Magadh to Munger.

Magadh region is considered the weakest stronghold of BJP in Bihar, for which it is making every possible effort to maintain its strong grip. In this area, BJP has joined hands with Jitanram Manjhi, Upendra Kushwaha, and Chirag Paswan to establish political roots. In Nawada, Aurangabad, Jehanabad, Arwal, the Mahagathbandhan had a heavy advantage. In this region, the Mahagathbandhan won 20 seats, while the NDA managed to win only 6 seats.

The Mahagathbandhan has had dominance in the Magadh and Munger divisions. How effective the Prime Minister’s visit will be in breaking this, only time will tell. Here, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing the people, said that among the projects inaugurated or foundation-stone laid today, there are many big projects related to energy, health, and urban development. These will strengthen Bihar’s industries and also create new employment opportunities for the youth.

Removing difficulties from the lives of the poor, making women’s lives easier is the government’s goal. Reiterating the government’s commitment, PM Modi said that this is a big resolution. Until every needy person gets a pucca house, Modi will not sit in peace.

With this thought, in the last 11 years, over 4 crore poor have been given pucca houses. In our Bihar alone, over 38 lakh houses have been built. In Gaya district too, over 2 lakh families have received their own pucca house. He said that today, continuing this sequence, over 16,000 families in the Magadh region of Bihar have been given their own pucca house, meaning this time the festivities of Diwali and Chhath Puja will be even more vibrant in these families.
