JDU Leader Claims ‘No Competition’ In Bihar
JDU leader Rajeev Ranjan Prasad lauded the NDA’s manifesto, asserting that there is “no competition” for the ruling alliance in Bihar.
“The work that Nitish Kumar has done in Bihar, including the cabinet's approval for future employment, roads worth Rs 5 lakh crore being built in Bihar... We have done so much work that it is an open challenge to the opposition to share their history as well,” Prasad told ANI.
He added, “Nitish Kumar provided 8 lakh jobs between 2005 and 2020 and 50 lakh jobs between 2020 and 2025. There is no competition.”
