“In recent times, this work has been taken even further. For the next five years, that is, from 2025 to 2030, the formation of 7 Nishchay-3 has been done. This will lead to even more work, as a result of which Bihar will advance significantly,” he wrote.

Recounting the formation of the NDA government in Bihar for the first time, Kumar said, “You know that on 24 November 2005, the NDA government was formed in the state for the first time.
