PM Modi says last tenure of govt in Bihar was to ensure basic facilities, next will be to fulfill aspirations of people

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing a rally in Bihar's Forbesganj, said that while last tenure of the ruling government was about fulfilment of all basic facilities in Bihar, next will be about fulfilling all aspirations of people if elected to power.  

“During the last decade, the government ensured all villages had access to electricity, in this decade it will aim for electricity in all villages at all times. We will fulfil the aspirations of people of Bihar now that we have fulfilled their basic necessities,” PM Modi said. 

He said that each and every woman of Bihar was determined to vote for the NDA because of the work the current government had done for them. He added that the NDA government gave the poor their right to vote in the real sense. 

“All my mothers and sisters in Bihar are siding with the NDA alliance, they are determined to vote for Modi because the current government ensured basic facilities to all of them,” he said. 

PM Modi will wrap up his campaigning for the three-phase election with Tuesday’s rallies at Forbesganj in Seemanchal and Saharsa in Kosi. 

Earlier during the day, the PM had urged voters to come out in large numbers and take part in the festival of democracy. 

“Phase 2 of Bihar assembly elections will take place today. I appeal all voters to come out in large numbers and make this festival of democracy a success. Remember to follow social distancing norms and wear a mask!” the PM said in a tweet. 

The voting for second phase of Bihar assembly elections is underway in 94 constituencies. In phase 1, held on October 28, 71 constituencies went to vote. The third and final phase of voting is scheduled for November 7 and the results will be declared on November 10.
