"Bihar people support NDA, govt working for Viksit Bharat, Viksit Bihar": Goa CM Pramod Sawant

Sanquelim (Goa) [India], September 22 (ANI): Ahead of the Bihar assembly election, Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said that the NDA government under PM Modi’s leadership is focused on development, aiming for a “Viksit Bharat” and “Viksit Bihar”, and expressed confidence in the alliance’s return to power.

He further alleged that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav want to protect Bangladeshis and Rohingyas in the state.

Speaking to ANI, Sawant said, “I campaigned for the BJP in Bihar, given the assembly elections in the state…I visited two districts, Patna and Darbhanga. Under the leadership of PM Modi, the Bihar government has worked for the development of the people of the state. Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav want to protect the Bangladeshis and Rohingyas who have settled in the state. But the people of the state are aware that the NDA government is working towards Viksit Bharat and Viksit Bihar. The people support the NDA government. The NDA government will be formed in the state again.”

Earlier on Saturday, the Goa CM praised the transformation of the state.

Upon arriving in Patna, Sawant expressed his admiration for the significant changes in Bihar, particularly highlighting the stunning airport, which, according to him, met international standards.

“I was visiting Bihar for the first time during the elections. As I landed, I saw how much Bihar had changed… I felt as if I had arrived at an international airport,” Sawant told reporters.

While praising Bihar, Sawant also mentioned that he would be in Bihar for two days and, during his visit, would interact with party workers. “For the campaign, I was in Bihar for two days, which were today and tomorrow. I also interacted with party workers in the state,” he added.

Discussing his plans with reporters, Sawant expressed confidence that the public would bring back the BJP government to power in the state. “Definitely, the people of Bihar will call for the return of the double-engine government,” he said.

During his visit, the Chief Minister of Goa addressed remarks made by Rahul Gandhi, who had previously stated that democracy was in danger in India and had expressed his support for those who stood against this threat. Sawant replied that the most dangerous times for democracy had been witnessed during the Congress era.

He further emphasised that the current government’s focus on infrastructure and human resource development under Modi’s leadership was benefiting Bihar and the entire country.

“I would say that the biggest danger was during the time of Congress… Now, Modi ji’s sabka saath sabka vikas government is there. That is why infrastructure development and human resource development are going on very well in Bihar, and in the rest of the country,” asserted Sawant. (ANI)
