Patna: CM
Nitish Kumar
on Friday said while the NDA govt has been working for Bihar's all-round development, the opposition continues to spread "nonsense". He also thanked Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi for announcing that the caste census would be conducted alongside the national decadal census.
Taking aim at the previous RJD-Congress regime, Nitish said, "These people are carrying on with nonsense and misleading propaganda."
Speaking at a public rally at Jasoli in Siwan before the PM's address, Nitish praised Modi for aiding Bihar's development. He highlighted 28 newly launched projects, including 22 under the urban development and housing department and six road schemes worth Rs 5,900 crore. These include the Patliputra Junction-Gorakhpur Vande Bharat train and the export of locomotives from Marhaura in Saran to the Republic of Guinea.
"These projects will greatly benefit Bihar," Nitish said. He thanked the crowd and asked if such a large number of people, especially women and girls, had ever attended rallies before he took office in 2005. Referring to their presence, he said the NDA govt had given 50% reservation to women in panchayati raj institutions and urban local bodies.
"They (RJD) did nothing for women or Bihar during their rule, but now talk rubbish (altu-faltu baat).

Did people even step out of their homes then? Through 7-Nishchay, we improved education, health, toilets, electricity and water supply for poor households," Nitish said.
Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary welcomed the PM and said four crore Ayushman cards had been issued in Bihar. He added, "The NDA govt is working to open at least one medical college in every district." He said the Modi-led Centre had given Bihar Rs 16 lakh crore in packages over the past 11 years.
Senior BJP functionaries accompanying the PM and CM in an open vehicle highlighted the govt's welfare schemes, especially those for adivasis, and the efforts to revive Nalanda's historic legacy.
