“The NDA government formed in Bihar will leave no stone unturned for the development of the state and to fulfill the aspirations of its people.

The fresh development — BJP-JD-U alliance — came just ahead of the general elections, which, according to the political analysts, is expected to give the saffron party an edge in putting up a “strong performance” in the Lok Sabha seats in Bihar. Bihar has a total of 40 Lok Sabha seats.
