During Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s first visit to Bihar since the JD(U) rejoined the BJP-led NDA, his old camaraderie with chief minister Nitish Kumar took centre stage. Nitish vowed to remain in NDA forever while Modi pledged to create a “flood of development with the double-engine government”.
“…You (PM Modi) had come earlier as well, ‘par idhar hum gayab ho gaye the. Hum phir aapke saath hai (I disappeared (from NDA) for some time but now I am with you),” said CM Nitish at an NDA rally in Aurangabad.
“I assure you that I will not go here and there. ‘Hum rahenge aap hi ke saath’…,” Bihar CM Nitish Kumar said.

PM Modi unveiled development projects worth ₹21,400 crore in Aurangabad. He also addressed a public rally in Ratanwa village.
Governor Rajendra V Arlekar, CM Nitish Kumar, deputy CMs Samat Chaudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha, and several Union ministers were among those present at the programme.
PM Modi, while addressing the public rally, said: “Bihar will develop only with the poor of the state will progress…Therefore, our government is focused on increasing the capacity of every poor, Dalit, Adivasi & deprived…”
Aiming at the opposition, PM Modi said, “Since NDA has become stronger, dynastic politics in Bihar is moving towards its end. One might inherit a political party and post from parents, but they don’t dare to even once mention the work done by the mother and father. I have heard that their party leaders are not ready to contest Lok Sabha elections. They are now looking for Rajya Sabha seats.”
