BJP harps on ‘good governance’ in Bihar

PATNA: The state BJP on Saturday exuded confidence in its “most efficient, able and tested leadership” with clear vision to fight the upcoming assembly polls and promised to follow the formula of ‘sabka saath, sabka vikas (everyone’s support, everyone’s development)’.
In its political resolutions adopted at the two-day executive committee meeting of the party, the saffron party said the state and central governments were committed to uplift all sections of the society and take the state to a new height of development.
Launching a scathing attack on the opposition parties in the state, the BJP said the Mahagathbandhan can’t provide a stable and development-oriented government in the state as political ideologies of its constituents were poles apart. “On the other hand, the NDA partners are supportive of the development,” it claimed.
‘Sabka saath, sabka vikas’ and ‘samajik nyay ke saath vikas’ are the two mantras, which the NDA would follow in the ensuing assembly polls scheduled to be held in October-November, the political resolutions said.
The resolutions talked about the initiatives taken by the central and the state governments to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic. “While the opposition is insensitive and making baseless accusations, the governments in the state and at the Centre have left no stone unturned to check the spread of the virus,” the resolution said, revealing the recent steps taken to increase the testing facilities in the state.
Reiterating its political commitments towards the country as a whole and state in particular, the BJP said the state’s budget during the RJD regime was Rs 23,855 crore, which has now been increased to Rs 2,11,761 crore. Similarly the state’s GDP was 3.19%, which has gone up to 11.3%.
Drawing a parallel between the RJD regime and that of the NDA, the political resolution said the growth rate of the state was 2% during the RJD rule, which has increased to 8% now. “Similarly, power supply has been provided to 100% households, while it was confined to only 22% households during Lalu-Rabri regime,” it said.
The resolution also highlighted the measures taken by the central and state governments to provide relief to returnee migrant workers. It covered issues related to abrogation of Article 370, construction of Ram temple at Ayodhya, new education policy of the Union government, CAA and special economic package.
