Roads, highways, and expressways will be built,” the SP chief said in his election rallies in support of INDIA bloc candidates—Rajesh Yadav in Dinara constituency, Rishi Singh in Obra constituency and the candidate from Belaganj seat on the last day of electioneering for the first phase of polling on November 6.

He also claimed that Tejashwi Yadav’s promises to provide jobs for youth in every household, 200 units of free electricity and 2,500 per month for mothers and sisters had left the BJP nervous. .

“The public (of Bihar) has already decided to form an INDIA bloc government and make Tejashwi Yadav the next CM. Bihar will change with the change of government. The BJP is nervous about this message of change,” Akhilesh asserted.
