PM Modi Addresses Development Project Inauguration, Criticizes Opposition
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of several development projects valued at over Rs. 48,520 crores in Bihar on Friday. In his address to the gathering, he took a swipe at the opposition party in the state, claiming that for decades, marginalized groups such as the Dalits, backwards classes, and tribals were deprived of essential amenities and equal opportunities.
Modi pointed out that during the Congress and RJD's rule, the poor and oppressed were left without access to basic necessities like toilets and banks. He asserted that the NDA era has witnessed a new era of social justice for Bihar.
On another note, BJP leader Mahachandra Prasad Singh has been appointed as Chairman of the Bihar State Commission for the Development of Upper Castes, and Rajeev Ranjan Prasad, JDU National Spokesperson, has been designated as Vice Chairman.
Crucial Political Developments
The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) has decided to contest the Bihar Assembly elections independently, and the Bihar government has formed an Upper Caste Development Commission ahead of the elections, which could be seen as strategic moves.
The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) expressed confidence in winning more than 220 seats, predicting a strong victory. However, the upcoming Assembly elections in Bihar are a significant political event, with governance, economic policy, social reform, and various other factors playing crucial roles in shaping the political messaging around social justice.
- Despite the focus on Bihar's Assembly elections, recent war-and-conflicts, migration, crime-and-justice, general-news incidents such as car-accidents and fires have not spared the state.
