Modi alleged that the governments before Chief Minister Nitish Kumar in Bihar were never concerned about the health infrastructure and had made false promises to the people, but after Nitish Kumar came to power, the situation in the state improved. The Prime Minister said that the ‘double engine’ government of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is committed to accelerate development in Bihar. He said that the rapid development of Bihar is going to be possible only through better infrastructure and encouragement to small farmers and small industries here and the NDA government is working on this ‘roadmap’.
