Prime Minister Narendra Modi initiated development projects worth 13,000 crore rupees in Bihar, including the flagging off of two trains. Addressing a public gathering, he began his speech in the Magahi language. Modi stated his satisfaction in serving the people and criticized the RJD, highlighting their alleged role in bringing ‘red terror’ to Bihar. He inaugurated his address in Gaya, expressing greetings and respect.
Regarding new legislation, PM Modi announced a law targeting corruption, applicable to both Chief Ministers and Prime Ministers. Under this law, officials would be required to vacate their positions if bail is not granted within 30 days. Modi asserted that those imprisoned would be removed from their posts, emphasizing that corrupt officials would face both imprisonment and the loss of their positions. He reiterated his commitment to serving the people, particularly in providing housing. He mentioned that over 4 million poor people have received permanent homes in the last 11 years, with 3.8 million homes constructed in Bihar alone, including 200,000 in Gaya. The Prime Minister assured that the housing scheme would continue until every poor person has a home.
He also expressed that Diwali and Chhath Puja in Bihar this year would be more festive. Modi assured those yet to benefit from the housing scheme that it would continue until everyone is housed. He referred to the region as the land of spirituality and peace, and the place where Lord Buddha attained enlightenment. Modi acknowledged the rich spiritual and cultural heritage of Gaya, and appreciated the Bihar government’s decision to officially call the city Gaya Ji. He praised the state’s dual-engine government for its efforts towards Gaya Ji’s rapid development.
Modi recalled that every resolution taken on the soil of Bihar has been fulfilled. He then mentioned that after a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, where innocent citizens were targeted, he vowed to eliminate terrorism from the region. He said that the world now sees the fulfillment of that pledge. Modi highlighted ‘Operation Sindoor’ as a defining moment in India’s defense policy, ensuring that terrorists would no longer escape accountability, regardless of where they hid.
