The Janata Dal United has attacked the Congress party for holding the CWC meeting in the capital.

From Revanth Reddy to Charanjit Singh Channi and other Congress leaders, they have repeatedly insulted the people of Bihar. There are people like Stalin in their alliance who hate the word Bihari. Today, these people are shedding crocodile tears in Bihar and are showing love to the people of Bihar. This is a drama. It is not going to benefit anyone. The Congress’s boat has sunk in Bihar in this election.

6- Bihar created history in tourism and employment – JDU
JDU national spokesperson Rajiv Ranjan Prasad, while issuing a statement on Wednesday, targeted the Leader of Opposition. He said that the allegations made by Tejashwi Yadav regarding the Bihar government and tourism development are completely untrue and baseless. Tejashwi Yadav, who handled the tourism ministry for the last 17 months, is himself creating contradictions by calling the achievements of his tenure amazing, whereas the reality is that it is due to the direction of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and the efforts of good governance that the tourism and economic scenario of Bihar has changed.
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has launched numerous ambitious projects on the ground to promote religious, historical, cultural tourism, and eco-tourism. Under the Buddhist circuit, investments have been made in an international airport, five-star hotels, and better road connectivity to make Bodh Gaya a world-class tourist destination. Nalanda University has been rebuilt and it has now become a major center of education for international students. Rajgir, Gaya, and Vaishali have also been connected to the Buddhist circuit. Patna has gained a new identity with the construction of modern structures like Ganga Path and Marine Drive.
