Prem Shukla Says Bihar Mandate Rejects ‘Fake Promises’, Backs Modi’s Development Agenda

By A Staff Reporter

Delhi: As early trends in the Bihar Assembly Election vote counting showed the National Democratic Alliance comfortably ahead, BJP leader Prem Shukla said the emerging mandate reflected the people’s resounding approval of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s development-driven governance. Speaking to reporters on Friday, Shukla asserted that the voters had rejected what he called the opposition’s unrealistic promises.

“The people of Bihar have given a massive mandate to the development-oriented policies of PM Narendra Modi. He has transformed Bihar and redefined it,” Shukla said, emphasising that the early leads were an endorsement of the Centre’s focus on infrastructure, welfare schemes, and economic upliftment. He highlighted projects in roads, electricity, housing, and social welfare as evidence of what he described as a transformative decade for the state under NDA rule.

Shukla also criticised the INDIA bloc’s campaign promises, particularly the pledge of providing a government job to every household. “The opposition made fake promises like ‘sarkari naukri har ghar mein’. These promises are not possible even if we increase Bihar’s budget by four times,” he said, calling the proposal financially unviable and misleading for voters.
