“The Narendra Modi government at the Centre and the BJP-JD(U) government in Bihar are fully devoted to the poor, the weaker sections of the society, the Dalits the OBCs, the EBCs. Schemes of the central and the state governments are largely centred around villages and the poor,” Modi said.
“BJP workers in the state ought to fan out across villages and tell the people about these pro-poor schemes and our motto of Sabka Sath and Sabka Vikas,” he said.
In a veiled dig at Lalu Prasad’s RJD, Modi said, “the lantern is a thing of the past in Bihar. Every village of the state will be electrified by December 31 this year. When we came to power in 2005, electricity cables had reached only 20 per cent of the villages and even these hardly received any electricity supply.”
