Modi said: “To make eastern India stronger, Bihar must become a developed state.”
He blamed the previous UPA government for giving very little money to Bihar and said that under the NDA government, Bihar has received much more support.
“Earlier governments punished Bihar, now we’re helping it rise,” he said.
He shared a dream:
“One day, Motihari should be known in the East like Mumbai is in the West.”
He added:
Gaya should have opportunities like Gurugram
Patna should develop like Pune
Santhal Pargana should shine like Surat
Tourism in Jalpaiguri and Jajpur should grow like in Jaipur
Birbhum should progress like Bangalore

PM Modi also mentioned Operation Sindoor, a campaign he started years ago from Bihar to remove Kala-azar disease. He said the world now sees the success of that campaign, showing Bihar’s strength.
This visit is also important for elections in Bihar, expected soon.
Modi was joined by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and both Deputy CMs , showing unity in the NDA alliance.
The crowd cheered “Modi! Modi!” as he arrived in an open vehicle covered in flowers.
RJD leader Lalu Prasad Yadav called the visit “a lie show” and accused Modi of making false promises. But the event drew large crowds and got strong media attention.
Rail and road projects will be completed in the coming months and years.
The SHG money and housing funds will reach people soon.
The new IT parks will open for start-ups in August.
Fisheries projects will accept applications from September 1.
PM Modi’s visit was not just about starting projects, it was also about elections coming up.
Every time polls come near, big promises and new trains arrive. This time, it’s Motihari’s turn to hear dreams of becoming the next Mumbai.His speech was filled with big dreams and local pride, and he used the event to remind voters that his government is investing in Bihar’s future.
Whether these promises bring real changes before the elections is something only time will tell. But for now, four new trains are running, and thousands of families have new hope for homes, jobs, and better roads — just like before every election.
