Bihar Election 2020: Nitish Kumar says 'we believe in the development of each section'
Patna, Oct 25: Ahead of the Bihar assembly elections, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar addressed a public rally at Phulparas in Madhubani.
"We have worked against crime, corruption & communalism & tried to create an atmosphere of brotherhood & harmony in Bihar. We believe in the development of every section," he said.
Lashing
out
at
dynastic
politics
of
the
opposition,
Nitish
said
that
the
whole
state
is
his
family.
"For
others,
wife,
son,
daughter
and
limited
members
are
the
families,
but
to
me
whole
Bihar
is
my
family.
Serving
people
is
my
duty,"
he
said.
"Bihar
was
in
a
pathetic
situation.
Lots
of
crime
happened
here.
The development rate was almost zero. We controlled everything. We kept saying right from the beginning we'll go on the path of progress with justice," he said. JD(U) has fielded Sheela Mandal from Phulparas to contest against Kripanath Thakur of Congress and Bonod Kumar Singh of the Lok Jan Shakti Party.
In
the
last
elections
held
in
Bihar
in
2015,
Guljar
Devi
of
JD
(U)
had
won
from
this
seat.
Since
the
National
Democratic
Alliance
(NDA)
candidate
from
the
constituency
is
a
woman,
the
Chief
Minister
did
not
forget
to
mention
the
work
done
by
his
government
for
the
betterment
of
women.
"Women are getting their due respect. There was no female participation in public representation. We provided them a platform and chance... Development is not possible unless women get the opportunity to work shoulder to shoulder. Furthermore, we have done a lot for women's uplift," he said.
Bihar Assembly elections will be held in three phases on October 28, November 3, and November 7. Phulparas will go to polls on November 3. The result will be declared on November 10
