Bihar: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday (November 3, 2025) slammed the Mahagathbandhan for keeping Bihar in ‘misery’ for decades. While addressing a rally in Katihar, the Prime Minister said, “These people kept Bihar in misery for decades because development was never on their agenda. Under Nitish Kumar’s leadership, the NDA gave Bihar good governance. It brought development.”
Meanwhile, PM Modi hailed the transformation of the state under the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), stating, “Where there was despair and frustration during the Jungle Raj, good governance brings new dreams and new resolve. People have unwavering faith in us that only the NDA government can fulfill their aspirations.”
He further highlighted the progress in Bihar rails and the high demand for expressways. “That’s why, wherever rail has reached, there’s a demand for high-speed Vande Bharat trains. Where roads have reached, there’s a demand for expressways. Where small hospitals have opened, there’s a demand for super-specialty hospitals,” PM Modi said.

Speaking to the crowd in Bihar’s Katihar, PM Modi blasted RJD’s ‘anti-development’ legacy, stating, “These days, even the RJD has been forced to make false claims about development. Otherwise, their history has been anti-development. When people demanded roads, the RJD would say that building roads would risk accidents. At that time, people demanded electricity, and RJD leaders would say, if electricity comes, they’ll get electrocuted and die…”
On the other hand, RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav expressed confidence in the Mahagathbandhan’s win in the upcoming Bihar elections. “The election campaign is going on very well. The alliance will win. The local leaders are working well. There is massive support from the people. Tejashwi is getting people’s support…” he said.
