'People of state want Nitish back'

PATNA: JD(U) national general secretary (organisation) R C P Singh on Monday said common people have a very strong desire that CM Nitish Kumar leads the state government once again so that his resolve to make Bihar a developed state could be fulfilled.

Addressing the party’s assembly constituency-wise virtual sammelan for Wazirganj, Rajauli, Warisaliganj, Jamui, Ghoraiya and Jamalpur ahead of the aseembly polls, Singh said the government prior to Nitish Kumar’s regime had neither a vision nor any programme for development of the state.

“Bihar was then a backward state on all parameters of development. Nitish Kumar came into power in November 2005 with a dream of a developed Bihar and did work in all sectors,” he said.

“If anyone wants to see an example of development in Bihar during Nitish Kumar’s regime, s/he should take the case of twin cities of Gaya and Bodh Gaya. Nirtishji decorated the twin cities in such a way that the footfall of foreign tourists rose to above three lakh in 2019. Today, there are several important institutions and international-class facilities available in Gaya and Bodh Gaya towns. Moreover, now the state government has planned to supply Ganga water in the town,” Singh said.

As the JD(U) has planned a mega virtual rally of Nitish on August 7, Singh asked the party leaders to link maximum number of Nitish’s fans, followers and well-wishers, besides the party’s workers through different social media platforms.

Nitish is likely to kickstart his party’s election campaign for the forthcoming assembly polls through the virtual rally on August 7.

State’s information and public relations minister Neeraj Kumar, transport minister Santosh Kumar Nirala, Yuva JD(U) president and MLA Abhay Kushwaha, party’s spokesperson Anjum Ara and media cell president Amardeep also addressed the virtual sammelan.

JD(U)’s leader in Lok Sabha and Munger MP Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan Singh also addressed a similar virtual sammelan for Kanti, Paroo, Sahibganj, Muzaffarpur, Gopalganj, Kuchaykot and Darauli assembly constituencies.
