'It is Advantage BJP,' Says Arun Jaitley on Battle for Bihar

Patna: In battle for Bihar, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley is addressed a press conference in Patna today. Here the highlights of his media briefing:

• I have no qualms in saying that we have a clear lead in the elections so far "It is advantage BJP"
• In some cases it will be a one-sided sweep
• BJP and its allies will get a clear majority in the elections
• The Centre and Bihar will both benefit from the victory
• We will stabilise administration, bring in good governance and development together from Bihar and the Centre
• The biggest weakness of the current government of the JD(U) is that they did not have any stability in the administration and politics
• Bihar was a "primitive development model"
• A few roads here and a few schools there but it did not go much beyond that
• I have said earlier Bihar has two resources - its agriculture and its human resource
• You bring electricity here, you bring industry here, you bring better higher education here, the JD(U) never thought on those lines
• The youth of this state had to go out both for education and employment
• If anybody is answerable for the poor condition of Bihar it is them (the incumbents).
• The biggest difference the BJP will have is that it will create opportunity
• Sometimes people (in the press) make wrong assumptions, they write friendly stories but friendly media stories don’t win any elections
• And the blessings of some strange people don’t sway the people
• There is a clear belief that this wind will only get stronger in the next phases and we will give Bihar a strong government
• There is a clear belief that this wind will only get stronger in the next phases and we will give Bihar a strong government
• When the JDU changed tried to go beyond building a small school or a Panchayat building, it failed.
• They just failed to create economic opportunities here
• When the situation changes then Tantra-Mantra doesn't help
• We also consult babas but not conspire against our colleagues
• When the prime minster rescheduled his programme because of gap in polls, you said it's panic. When he devotes time you say it is panic
• Just because the media shows some statements by some people,  it does not mean it will affect our prospects in Bihar
