Watch: PM Modi announces Rs 1.25 lakh crore package for Bihar

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday presented a package of Rs 1.25 lakh crore for poll-bound Bihar saying it will change the fate of the state. "I promise you I will implement this package fully. If we want to solve people's problems then the only way ahead is development," said Modi while addressing a rally in Arrah. "Along with Rs 1.25 lakh crore package, an additional Rs 40,000 crore will also be spent on the state," said Modi as the crowd cheered. In the course of his speech, Modi also taunted chief minister Nitish Kumar once again and questioned his stand on the status on the state. "When I called Bihar a Bimaru state, Nitish Kumar became upset. Now I agree with Nitish Kumar that Bihar is not a Bimaru state," said Modi taking a dig at the CM. "I will the happiest if Bihar stops being counted as one of the Bimaru states," he said.
