Ram & Sita will sail NDA boat through: BJP
Patna: Over 150 BJP 'vistaraks' (party expansion workers) from across India attended a party orientation programme in Rajgir to discuss election strategy and key focus areas ahead of the Bihar assembly elections. The event was chaired by BJP national general secretary B L Santhosh with senior leaders, including state party president Dilip Jaiswal, in attendance. Workers engaged in organisational duties in various districts were briefed on how to effectively communicate the achievements of the central and state govts to the public. Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Jaiswal expressed confidence that the NDA would return to power in Bihar. "Lord Ram and Mata Sita will sail the NDA/BJP boat through the elections and we will form the govt with a two-thirds majority," he said, referring to the state govt's plan to construct a grand temple for Sita at Punaura Dham in Sitamarhi. Jaiswal also criticised RJD leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav for a recent social media post in which he was seen offering water to a Shivalinga at the start of Shravan month. "It is good that Tejashwi is taking refuge in Lord Shri Ram. He is a Sanatani. During elections, leaders try to influence voters in different ways, but the people of Bihar are standing with the NDA," he added.
