It is in the power of the people to decide what role Bihar will play in a self-reliant India, he said, adding that each and every vote will decide how quickly the goals of a self-reliant Bihar are achieved.
Earlier in the day, the PM addressed a public rally in Darbhanga, where he targeted the earlier governments by saying that their focus was always on commission and not on connectivity. “Kosi Mahasetu was inaugurated a few days ago.
