Former Union minister and senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said he is confident of the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA)'s victory in the upcoming Bihar assembly elections.
-
In an interview with Smriti Kak Ramachandran, the Lok Sabha MP from Patna Sahib said the people of Bihar continue to repose faith in chief minister and Janata Dal (United) leader Nitish Kumar, while asserting that the Opposition lacks credibility and public support. Edited excerpts:
What is the BJP-led NDA’s election pitch in Bihar? Why will voters vote for the alliance?
In Bihar, there isa straight fight between the NDA’s good governance and the legacy of the “jungle raj" (lawlessness) of (RJD chief) Lalu Prasad. People have seen the dramatic changes that have taken place in Bihar since the NDA, led by Nitish Kumar, came to power, and the development work was further accelerated by the powerful support of Prime Minister Narendra Modi... In my own constituency, there are signs of improved infrastructure — from Vande Bharats to revamped airport... the change is evident.
