Youth biggest beneficiaries of improved situation in Bihar: PM Modi

PM Modi highlights Bihar's transformation, noting youth never saw Naxalite era. Credits NDA for improved security, women's schemes, and predicts triple Diwali celebrations including election victory.

"Today, a better environment has been created in Bihar. Its biggest benefit is being received by our youth. - PM Narendra Modi"

New Delhi, October 15

Noting that the youth of Bihar are gaining from the improved situation in the state, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said that there was a period when a large part of Bihar was affected by Naxalites and they resorted to violence and loot.

Interacting with BJP workers from Bihar via NaMo App, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a dig at RJD and said the youth of the state have not seen the period "which destroyed the state".

"This year, a double Diwali celebration is set to take place in Bihar. The first celebration took place on the first day of Navratri because of GST. Now, Diwali will be celebrated on October 20. However, the mood in Bihar also calls for another Diwali celebration on November 14 to mark the NDA's victory. As always, Bihar's sisters and daughters will play a significant role in this victory," PM Modi said.

The results of the Bihar polls will be declared on November 14. Parties of the ruling NDA have declared their candidates for the election.

"Today, a better environment has been created in Bihar. Its biggest benefit is being received by our youth. The youth who are 18-25 years old today have not seen that era which devastated Bihar. We have seen that era in Bihar, when a very large part was affected by Naxalism. The situation was such that Naxalites would blow up railway tracks. There used to be looting of coal and cement from goods trains. People were afraid to step out of their homes after 5-6 pm in the evening. It was not even possible to take pregnant women to the hospital," he added.

The Prime Minister said that the grand festival of democracy has also begun in Bihar and people are also making preparations for Diwali, Chhath Puja, and other festivals.

PM Modi said that 'Mera Booth, Sabse Mazboot' is not just a programme but the strongest link in the BJP's success at the grassroots level.

"As the old saying goes--drop by drop the pot fills up. Similarly, when every booth gets strong, only then does the party achieve success. Therefore, it felt very good to see that every BJP worker in Bihar is moving forward with the resolve of 'My booth, the strongest'."

PM Modi said he is happy to learn that women in Bihar are very happy with the Mahila Rozgar Yojana, recently launched by the NDA government in Bihar.

He said Rs 10,000 has been transferred to the accounts of 1.20 crore sisters in Bihar, with each sister receiving that amount.

Bihar will go to the polls on November 6 and 11. Political parties have stepped up their campaign for the election, with the BJP, JD-U coming out with their list of candidates. Jan Suraaj Party has also come out with two lists of candidates

The ₹10,000 transfer to 1.20 crore sisters is truly empowering! My mother received it and it helped our family during the festival season. Women's economic empowerment is crucial for Bihar's development.

While there has been improvement, let's not forget that development should be measured by quality education and healthcare access, not just infrastructure. Many districts still lack good colleges and hospitals. Hope the focus remains on these areas too.

I've been working in Bihar for an NGO and the change in security situation is remarkable. People can actually travel after sunset now without fear. The reduction in Naxal violence is a huge achievement for any government.

My grandparents used to tell us horror stories about the Naxal era. Trains being stopped, people living in constant fear. Today's youth are indeed blessed to not experience that trauma. Jai Bihar! 🎉

The 'Mera Booth, Sabse Mazboot' approach is interesting. Grassroots strengthening is what Bihar needs. Hope this translates into better governance at the local level and not just election rhetoric.
