PM Narendra Modi's development push ahead of the Bihar assembly poll
With the Bihar assembly poll just months away, PM Narendra Modi's inauguration spree in Bihar tried to push the state's development. He dedicated multiple rail projects to the nation, including automatic signalling between the Samastipur-Bachhwara rail line and the doubling of the Darbhanga-Thalwara and Samastipur-Rambhadrapur rail line, part of the Darbhanga-Samastipur doubling project worth over ₹580 crore.
