During an event in Jagdishpur, Nitish Kumar emphasized that “NDA’s unity is the foundation of Bihar’s development.” He urged party workers to spread awareness about government welfare schemes like increased pension benefits, free electricity up to 125 units, and other initiatives aimed at helping poor and needy families.
The Chief Minister also interacted with local residents and checked ongoing development work at various stalls set up by different government departments. Senior NDA leaders, including Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary and other ministers and legislators, attended the program to support the development efforts.
This wave of new projects is set to bring significant changes to Bhojpur and Buxar, improving roads, healthcare, and basic amenities for thousands of residents.
