The Bihar Assembly buzzed with anticipation on Tuesday as National BJP President Nitin Nabin, the MLA from Bankipur, took the floor during the budget session. His address was a heartfelt tribute to the institution that shaped his political journey, blending personal anecdotes with broader visions for the state.
Grateful for the warm reception, Nabin bowed in respect to his fellow legislators. He shared how the assembly has been his greatest teacher, teaching the nuances of consensus-building across party lines. ‘People come here with their party’s ideology, but leave equipped to serve the masses unitedly,’ he observed. The unique ethos of maintaining the house’s prestige is a lesson irreplaceable, he added.
Nabin showered praise on CM Nitish Kumar for revolutionizing Bihar’s perception nationwide. ‘Over 20 years, we’ve transformed the state’s image, earning the respect it deserves today,’ he noted. He highlighted PM Modi’s respect for party structures and his service ethos, mirroring Nitish’s good governance model. This synergy, he believed, should inspire every assembly member.
Addressing future leaders, Nabin emphasized enduring public connection. ‘True political success is when your legacy of empathy outlives your tenure,’ he said wisely. From ruling coalitions to opposition roles, the assembly has been his learning ground. Calling it the ‘birthplace of democracy’ in Bihar, he pledged full dedication to state progress as an MLA, despite his national duties.
Looking ahead, Nabin committed to working under Modi and Nitish to develop Bihar, restoring its historical pride. ‘A stronger Bihar image elevates us all, paving the way for a developed India,’ he concluded optimistically. The session ended on a high note, with members appreciating his balanced and forward-looking perspective.
