PATNA: In a powerful endorsement that sets the stage for the upcoming electoral battle in Bihar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has hailed the NDA’s election manifesto, describing it as a concrete “vision for a self-reliant and developed Bihar.” The manifesto, dubbed the ‘Sankalp Patra’ or document of resolutions, was unveiled amid much anticipation and is being positioned as the governing alliance’s definitive blueprint for the state’s future.
Prime Minister Modi took to a popular social media platform to express his strong approval. He stated that the manifesto is rich with commitments aimed at accelerating Bihar’s growth trajectory. “The NDA’s manifesto for Bihar is a comprehensive vision for a self-reliant and developed state. It outlines a roadmap for job creation for our youth, empowerment for our women and farmers, and overall development,” the Prime Minister wrote, urging the people of Bihar to bless the alliance with a strong mandate.
A central pillar of the NDA’s promise is the urgent issue of employment. The alliance has made a bold pledge to generate a staggering 10 lakh new jobs for the state’s youth. This commitment is seen as a direct appeal to a key demographic that often influences election outcomes. The plan reportedly encompasses opportunities in both the public and private sectors, alongside initiatives to promote entrepreneurship and self-employment.
Beyond job creation, the manifesto places a significant emphasis on transforming Bihar into a premier tourism destination. A key announcement is the focused development of the “Sita Circuit,” a project aimed at enhancing the infrastructure around sites associated with the Hindu epic Ramayana. This initiative is designed to attract pilgrims and history enthusiasts alike, thereby boosting local economies and creating ancillary employment. The development of other spiritual and heritage sites across the state is also a part of this sweeping vision.
With the Prime Minister’s personal backing, the NDA’s manifesto is now the centerpiece of their campaign. It presents a sweeping vision that touches upon agriculture, women’s welfare, and infrastructure, all under the overarching banner of “Atmanirbhar Bihar” (Self-Reliant Bihar). As the political temperature rises, the document sets a clear agenda, challenging opposition parties to match its scale of promises and vision for the state.
