Modi announces Rs. 1.25 lakh cr. package for Bihar

Ahead of his Saharsha rally, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday announced a big package at Ara for the development of Bihar and also took a dig at the state Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for not utilising central funds.

While inaugurating several projects of National Highways and skill development at Ara, Mr. Modi in a dramatic way declared a Rs. 1.25 lakh crore package to change the “face and fate of Bihar.”

Announcing a special package, Mr. Modi said, “Today, I’ve come here to fulfil my promise which I’d made earlier to the people of Bihar. I’d promised to give a package of Rs. 50,000 crore but now I’ve to say Rs. 50,000 crore will not be enough for Bihar’s development.”
