New Delhi [India], October 25 : BJP national spokesperson Syed Shahnawaz Hussain on Saturday dismissed the issues raised by RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav as "unnecessary" and hailed Bihar's development under Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
Highlighting improvements in water supply, electricity, and road infrastructure, Hussain expressed confidence that the NDA will secure a "huge majority" in Bihar assembly elections, backed by strong public support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
"Tejashwi Yadav is raising unnecessary issues. Bihar is on the path of progress today... Nitish Kumar has changed the fate and face of Bihar in 20 years. Today, water, electricity, roads in Bihar are excellent... The public has faith in Prime Minister Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. The public is with us. No matter what issue Tejashwi Yadav raises, it won't make any difference. NDA will win by a huge majority," the BJP leader said.
Earlier today, Tejashwi Yadav sharply criticised the state government, calling Bihar the poorest in India with the lowest per capita income.
Highlighting the lack of factories, investments, and opportunities, Yadav accused Chief Minister Nitish Kumar of ignoring crucial NITI Aayog meetings and failing to attract development to the state, forcing residents to migrate for education, healthcare, and employment.
"Bihar is the poorest state in India, with the lowest per capita income. People still have to migrate for education, healthcare, and employment. There are no factories or investments in the state. The CM doesn't even attend the NITI Aayog meetings, let alone bringing in investments," the RJD leader said.
On Friday, Tejashwi, while pledging to rid Bihar of corruption and crime if he were elected, also claimed that the top five states in the nation that are ruled by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have the highest rates of crime.
Speaking to reporters in Patna, Yadav said, "We don't make broken, fragmented or false promises. We will do what we say... If Tejashwi Yadav becomes the Chief Minister, the people of Bihar will also become the CM (Chinta Mukth). We will make Bihar free from crime and corruption..."
The Assembly elections in Bihar will be held in two phases on November 6 and 11. The results will be declared on November 14.
