Nitish Thanks Bihar, PM Modi

Nitish Kumar, who has now won the mandate to lead Bihar, shared a detailed message following the grand ceremony at Patna’s historic Gandhi Maidan.

The JD(U) supremo also acknowledged the presence and support of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who attended the swearing-in ceremony alongside senior leaders of the NDA. Nitish’s return to office reinforces his central position in Bihar’s political landscape, having now served more years as chief minister than any of his predecessors.

‘Will Make Bihar One Of The Most Developed States’

In his message, Nitish Kumar reiterated his core promise of driving development across all sectors of governance. He underlined that the NDA government, with the cooperation of the Centre, would continue working to improve infrastructure, expand welfare schemes and boost economic growth.

“With a resolve for the all-round development of Bihar, the NDA government, with the support of the central government, will work with full commitment in the state. I am confident that with the cooperation and blessings of the people of Bihar, we will place the state among the most developed states in the country,” Nitish said.

His remarks come at a time when the new government faces expectations of delivering stability, accelerating development initiatives and meeting long-standing public demands.
