“I have full faith that the power of ”double engine” will take Bihar to new heights of development in this decade,” Modi said.
In his four-page letter in Hindi. the prime minister also said that better infrastructure and rule of law are imperative for social and economic prosperity and only NDA can provide that in Bihar.
NDA has done work in all sectors in Bihar — electricity, water, roads, health, education and for law and order, he said.
Modi said it was a matter of pride that the focus in Bihar polls has been on development. He said that the NDA has presented its report card to people and also shared its vision for the future.
