"For a developed Bihar, we need NDA govt": Yogi Adityanath campaigns in Siwan

Siwan (Bihar) [India], October 31 (ANI): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath urged Bihar voters to re-elect the National Democratic Alliance government in the State to ensure continued development under the guidance of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"The NDA promised in UP that it would end mafia rule and riots. In the last 8.5 years, not a single riot has taken place, and when someone tried to incite a riot, they were not only jailed but their property was confiscated and used to build homes for the poor," Adityanath said while addressing an election rally here.
"For a developed India, we need a developed Bihar, and for a developed Bihar, we need an NDA government. Under the leadership of CM Nitish Kumar and the guidance of PM Modi, we must re-establish the NDA government in Bihar," he added.
The Chief Minister also slammed the Congress, calling them "heir to the British."
"As the heir to the British, Congress, following the same British tradition, first created a crisis for the entire state of Bihar. It hindered Bihar's development. Whatever was left was completely wiped out by the RJD. During the RJD's rule, crime and kidnapping had become an industry in Bihar. Anarchy and hooliganism existed in Bihar during the RJD's rule. They were creating an identity crisis for the youth of Bihar," he said.
"I visited Raghunathpur the day before yesterday. 'Ek mafia wahan par phir se kabza karna chahta hai'. In Uttar Pradesh, we've bulldozed these mafias to pieces, opening the doors of hell for them," he added.
Meanwhile, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary on Friday said that the NDA will work to transform Bihar into an "industrial hub" in the next five years, if elected to power.
"In the next 5 years, we will work to make Bihar an industrial hub," Choudhary told reporters in Patna, soon after the NDA's manifesto was released.
The NDA members in Bihar jointly released their manifesto 'Sankalp Patra' in Patna on Friday in the high-stakes assembly elections.
The voting for the 243-seat Bihar Assembly will be held in two phases on November 6 and 11, whereas bye-elections for eight seats across seven states and Union Territories will be held on November 11. The results for both will be declared on November 14. (ANI)
