Sharp Criticism of Previous Governments

He further recalled how families were once afraid to even paint their houses or save money openly, fearing harassment and theft.

“Earlier, women had to hide even ₹10. Today, crores of Jan Dhan accounts have been opened, giving women and poor families access to formal banking and financial dignity,” he added.

Massive Public Support

The rally witnessed a huge turnout, with chants supporting Modi’s vision for Bihar and India. Locals expressed hope that these new projects and job initiatives would bring transformative change to the State’s economy and infrastructure.
