"Previous govt made poor poorer; BJP-Nitish alliance developed Bihar": Haryana CM Saini

Patna (Bihar) [India], October 18 (ANI): As the Bihar Assembly gears up, the Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Saturday said Bihar has developed under PM Modi and CM Nitish Kumar, with better roads, improved law and order, and higher per capita income, unlike the previous Congress-Lalu governments.
Saini further added that under the Congress-Lalu rule, the Bihar became poorer and poorer.
Polling for the Bihar elections 2025 will take place on November 6 and 11. The results will be announced on November 14.
Speaking to the reporters, CM Saini said, "Bihar has changed under the leadership of PM Modi and CM Nitish Kumar. The previous governments made the poor poorer. The system had collapsed. There were no roads. If someone recalls the law and order situation under Congress-Lalu rule, they get goosebumps. The BJP-Nitish Kumar alliance government developed Bihar... Per capita income had increased."
