In a significant boost to Bihar’s developmental landscape, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar embarked on the fourth leg of ‘Samriddhi Yatra’ Friday, targeting Gaya and Aurangabad with a flurry of project launches. Starting in Gaya, he initiated groundwork for 140 ambitious ventures while formally opening 553 ready-to-use facilities for public benefit.
Greeted by Union Minister and Gaya MP Jitan Ram Manjhi, Kumar’s itinerary included thorough checks of government exhibition stalls, heartfelt interactions with aid recipients, and on-site distribution of financial assistance. The day’s centerpiece was his powerful address to a sea of supporters, where he passionately outlined Bihar’s progress since 2005.
From crumbling roads to world-class highways, lax administration to efficient governance—Kumar painted a vivid before-and-after picture, crediting sustained efforts for the turnaround. He rallied the crowd: ‘Together, let’s build a developed Bihar. Unity is our strength; perseverance, our weapon.’
The outreach program aims to spotlight government achievements and strengthen grassroots connections. In Aurangabad, the momentum continued with 120 foundation stones laid and 142 projects inaugurated, all gifted to the community.
Kumar delved into scheme displays, solicited ground-level insights from beneficiaries, and handed out support cheques under welfare programs. His speech emphasized Aurangabad’s integral role in state-wide advancement, urging participatory governance.
Joining him were key figures like Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, cabinet ministers Vijay Kumar Choudhary and Santosh Kumar Suman, MLAs Chetan Anand, Lalan Ram, Prakash Chandra, Pramod Kumar Singh, and MLC Dilip Kumar Singh. These visits signal Bihar’s resolve to democratize development, ensuring no district is left behind.
