Here are the highlights of his speech:
- I have been told that a PM is visiting Banka after many years.
- This time Bihar will celebrate two Diwalis.
- There are few events in India's history that have not started from Bihar.
- India cannot develop without development in Bihar.
- We have seen feudalism, capitalism, separatism and nepotism...everything. For once, I urge you to vote for development-ism.
- Politics apart, the poor people of this country are our number 1 priority.
- The sons and daughters of Bihar have to leave their parents and go look for employment elsewhere, I want to change this.
- What we are doing for Bihar is not a favor, it's your right and you gave me the honour of being the one to give it.
- If I decide to send a cheque of Rs 1.25 lakh crore I'm sure the current Bihar government will send it back.
- The earlier government promised to give electricity, did you get electricity?
- Does this current government deserve your votes?
- I am not comparing Bihar with other states.
- I'm comparing simply comparing Bihar with Jharkhand.
- 15-10-years ago, Bihar and Jharkhand were the same states.
- And look, what the government in Jharkhand has managed to achieve.
- Let me talk about a World Bank survey. In the survey, Jharkhand was at number 29 and Bihar was at 27th position.
- Two weeks ago, in yet another survey, Bihar is still number 27 and Jharkhand is now at number 3.
- Make your decision and I assure you I will there with you at every step.
