"Walking hand-in-hand towards a historical victory": Chirag Paswan ahead of Bihar polls

Patna (Bihar) [India], October 18 (ANI): As the Bihar Assembly election draws near, Chirag Paswan-led Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) on Saturday said the National Democratic Alliance is marching towards a "historical victory" in the two-phased Bihar assembly elections.
Speaking to reporters, Paswan said, "Union Home Minister Amit Shah is on a visit to Bihar. It is the strength of our alliance that we are walking hand-in-hand towards a historical victory to build a Viksit Bharat envisioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The PM has visited Bihar 11 times in the last year after forming the government, which shows his priority is towards Bihar. In the meeting with (Union Home Minister) Amit Shah today, the strategy to win historic seats was discussed."
He further said that there is no "confusion" in the NDA.
"NDA has respected all 5 of its allies and completed the negotiation. The nominations of all 243 candidates are clear. The names of all 243 candidates are clear. There is no confusion like the Mahagathbandhan... We have already started our campaign when the Mahagathbandhan is trying to cancel out each other's claims," Paswan said.

Paswan also slammed the previous governments of the RJD and Congress for the law and order situation in Bihar.
"The situation in Bihar during the 1990s is no secret. Murder, kidnapping, looting, and robbery were at their peak... A perception of Bihar had been created, which stopped people from investing in Bihar. Able-bodied people of Bihar began to migrate... RJD and Congress ruined Bihar. This is the difference between the two alliances. One alliance promotes and protects crime, which is the mahagathbandhan, while our NDA alliance works only for development."
Paswan further added, "Our aim would be to have a 100% strike rate... We discussed how we will avoid every false narrative and focus only on the narrative of development..."
On Friday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that if the NDA returns to power in Bihar, it will transform the state into an "industrial hub."
Addressing the Intellectuals Conference in Bihar's Patna, Shah affirmed that the youth of Bihar have the "highest intelligence" in the whole world, and now it's time for Bihar 3.0.
"Now it's time for Bihar 3.0... We will make Bihar an industrial hub... The youth of Bihar have the highest intelligence in the whole world. Bihar may have a shortage of land, but we can introduce projects that require more mental work and less land," Shah said in Patna. (ANI)
