July 18, 2025: Prime Minister Narendra Modi made the claim on Friday that the RJD could not imagine employing young people because the party had seized poor people's land before doing so. He also accused the Congress-RJD combine of playing politics in the name of the poor and socially marginalised people and blamed both parties for the state’s earlier neglect and stagnation.
Addressing a public rally in Motihari ahead of the upcoming assembly elections, the PM coined a new slogan, "Banayenge naya Bihar, phir ek baar NDA sarkar" (We will build a new Bihar, once again an NDA government), igniting chants among the crowd and energising party workers.
The prime minister asserted that he took the resolve of Operation Sindoor from the land of Bihar, and said that the world has witnessed its success.
The prime minister asserted, "The RJD can't think of providing employment to youths, as it usurped the land of the poor people before giving them jobs." Additionally, he asserted that during the RJD-Congress administration in the state, there was a significant development gap. “They never thought about the betterment of the poor. They only played politics in the name of the poor and the socially marginalised,” he alleged.
Promising more opportunities for the youth, the PM said the Centre would invest Rs 1 lakh crore in providing jobs and employment across the country.
Additionally, Modi stated that the NDA is concerned about the state's overall development and that "Viksit Bihar" is crucial to the overall development of eastern India. “In the last 45 days, the government has released Rs 1,000 crore to 24,000 self-help groups in Bihar. Of the total 1.5 crore ‘lakhpati didis’ in the country, 20 lakh are from the state,” he said.
The PM also said, “Champaran gave a new direction to Mahatma Gandhi’s movement during the country’s freedom struggle. We have to develop Motihari like Mumbai.”
