In address to BJP workers, Rajnath vows to make Bihar a ‘developed state' under Nitish
'We must once again bring the NDA government to power in Bihar, which has seen a huge transformation under chief minister Nitish Kumar… We should pledge to make Bihar a developed state under the NDA,' Singh said while addressing party workers, MPs and legislators during the day-long state executive committee meeting in Patna.
Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal (United) leads the NDA government in Bihar, along with the BJP.
The BJP also passed political resolutions on the development that has taken place in the past 11 years under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and 20 years under CM Nitish Kumar in Bihar.
'We will go to the people and present before them the development work and achievements done by the central and Bihar governments,' deputy CM and BJP MLA Samrat Choudhary said during a press conference. The party also passed a 'Vijay Sankalp' resolution to win the elections later this year by a thumping majority.
Addressing party workers, Singh said, 'You all are not ordinary workers; you are the creators of a 'Golden Bihar'. This is the moment when, getting inspired by your history, you will work towards the upcoming elections. This is not just a party meeting, but a resolution meeting, and this resolution will take Bihar and India forward.'
He added that the state government has fulfilled all the promises made in their manifesto.
Singh asked party workers to draw inspiration from Bihar's history and advised them to take the party's work to every household.
'We must instill this very belief in the heart of every resident of Bihar,' he said, predicting a two-thirds majority win.
Singh said the reason the BJP has established itself as the largest political party in the world is that everyone works hard, regardless of their position in the party.
He said while Indians have lost trust in some leaders, the BJP confronted the challenge head-on by working consistently to restore faith through transparent governance and strong leadership.
Targetting the Opposition
Singh hit out at the Congress and the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) in Bihar, stating that their only motivation is to stay in power while the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) remains inspired by the idea of nation-building.
'Political parties like the Congress and RJD have only one objective — to stay in power whereas the BJP is inspired by nation-building. Bihar is not backward, it has been made backward. The objective of the BJP is to ensure a dignified life for every citizen of India. We are all striving to make India's economy the third-largest in the world,' Singh said.
Taking a dig at RJD chief Lalu Prasad, Singh said he never respected Jananayak Karpuri Thakur from the heart, while PM Narendra Modi honoured Karpuri Thakur by giving him the 'Bharat Ratna'. Touching on the alleged disrespect shown by the RJD president, Singh said, 'Don't expect an apology from RJD. Lalu Prasad has demeaned Ambedkar.'
Bihar BJP also passed a motion condemning RJD president Lalu Prasad for 'insulting' Babasaheb Ambedkar.

"Doesn't even deserve to be in opposition": BJP MLA Mahesh Tenginkai slams Congress over Priyank Kharge's RSS remark
Hubbali (Karnataka) [India], July 3 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Mahesh Tenginkai slammed Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge over his recent statement to ban the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), stating that the Congress does not even deserve to sit in the 'opposition' and that Kharge should think before making such a statement. The BJP MLA stated that his party will remain in power for the next 20 years and that no attention will be given to Priyank Kharge's statement. 'Priyank Kharge should think once. BJP is PM Narendra Modi's party, which will stay in power for 20 more years. Your party (Congress) will not be in power. It doesn't even deserve to be in is no need to give more attention to his statement', the BJP MLA said. Following Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge's statement of imposing a ban on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the BJP has hit back at the Congress leader, stating that the minister is 'threatening bans' as he feels that the situation in the country is like the year 1975. The Karnataka unit of the BJP slammed Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge through an 'X' post. Stating that Kalaburagi, which has been 'ruled' by Kharge for more than 50 years, remains one of the most 'underdeveloped' parts of Karnataka. 'Priyank Kharge, a minister only because of his father's influence, is now threatening bans like it's 1975 all over again. The Congress's alleged 'President/High Command' Mallikarjun Kharge ruled the Kalaburagi region for half a century. Yet it remains one of the most underdeveloped parts of Karnataka', the 'X' post said. Furthermore, the BJP stated that the both Priyank and Mallikarjun Kharge had so much to contribute towards the development of the state, but they spent their time 'chasing fantasies' like banning RSS. The 'X' post said that Priyank Kharge feels that he can distract the attention of Karnataka people by making such statements, but he has 'failed' in his attempt. 'Mini Kharge, along with his father, had so much to contribute but spent their time chasing fantasies like banning the RSS. And if he thinks making such statements will distract Kannadigas from the Multi Crore Housing Committee scam, he has failed. Just like he did in first PUC', the 'X' post said. Priyank Kharge on Tuesday slammed Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) over their General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale's statement demanding reconsideration of the terms 'socialist' and 'secular' in the Preamble of the Indian Constitution. Alleging that the RSS wants to 'alter' the Indian Constitution, Kharge said that these are the same people who 'staged a protest when the constituent assembly debates were going on and burned the constitution'. Responding to recent remarks made by Hosabale, the Karnataka Minister said, 'Very clearly, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar in his last speech has defined anti-nationals as those who create animosity by bringing in caste, and those people who are going to impede the social, political and economic progress of the country are the real anti-national. Those people who sow the seeds of communal hatred in society are anti-national. So who's doing that right now?...'. (ANI)
