Nitish Kumar government will be formed once again to serve people of Bihar: Piyush Goyal

Union Minister Piyush Goyal on Thursday (September 11, 2025) said the Nitish Kumar government would be formed once again to serve the people of Bihar. He asserted that the INDIA bloc might declare anyone as the Chief Minister candidate, but no one could stand in front of Mr. Kumar.

Addressing a press conference in Patna, the Union Minister said Bihar was moving towards development under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Mr. Kumar.

Attacking the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Congress, Mr. Goyal alleged that there was a time when corruption was in the headlines in Bihar but today infrastructure schemes and industrial development were visible.

“The Opposition is trying to find reasons for losing the elections. I condemn the way the Opposition used abusive language for Mr. Modi’s mother. Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav should know that no matter how much you speak or abuse, the people of Bihar will not be misled. The people of Bihar are intelligent and they want development and good governance,” Mr. Goyal said.

He said, “Once again the NDA [National Democratic Alliance] government under the leadership of Nitish Kumar will be formed in Bihar. In the upcoming elections, NDA will achieve a historic victory with the blessings of the people.”

Nod for two big projects

He pointed out that the Union Cabinet meeting was held on Wednesday in which two new big projects for Bihar had been approved, which include Mokama Munger four-lane highway costing ₹4,500 crore and a second railway track to be built on the Bhagalpur-Dumka-Rampurhat line.

Accompanied by BJP’s national media co-in-charge and MLC Sanjay Mayukh, State General Secretary Rajesh Verma and Bihar media in-charge Danish Iqbal, Mr. Goyal ‎‎mentioned about the metro service in Patna, which was likely to start before the Assembly election. He said the aim of the NDA was to make Bihar developed and prosperous.

Mentioning many other schemes launched by the Central government, he added new medical colleges were opened and poor people got houses. He stressed that no such class in the society that Mr. Modi did not care about.

“India is moving towards new development and this is the result of positive thinking. Bihar is also moving forward under the leadership of Modi ji and Nitish ji.”

Speaking on the situation in neighbouring Nepal, the Union Minister said Indians stranded in Nepal need not worry, as the Centre was closely monitoring the situation and had made all necessary arrangements for their safety.

Regarding the tariffs imposed by the U.S., he said talks were going on.
