Patna, Bihar: Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Sunday countered Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav’s remarks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Bihar, stating that PM Modi does not stay confined to his bungalow but actively engages with the people.
Union Minister Chouhan arrived at Patna Airport today to inspect arrangements ahead of Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Bihar on February 24. Addressing the media, Chouhan emphasized PM Modi’s extensive travel schedule and his commitment to the nation beyond electoral politics.
“Tejashwi Yadav should know that today, the Prime Minister is going to Madhya Pradesh; there is no election there. Tomorrow, he will come to Bihar and then go to Assam; there is no election there. Look at the previous visits of the Prime Minister; our Prime Minister does not stay confined in his bungalow; he goes among the people,” said Chouhan.
Tejashwi Yadav’s Jibe at NDA
The statement comes after Tejashwi Yadav took a swipe at the NDA, alleging that PM Modi’s visit to Bihar was politically motivated. Yadav remarked, “Every day, someone will come now. The Delhi election has ended, and everyone will come to Bihar. They don’t care about the people of Bihar. They only care about power.”
PM Modi’s Bihar Visit: Key Announcements and Initiatives
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, and Assam from February 23 to 25. His itinerary includes a stop at Bhagalpur, Bihar, on February 24 at around 2:15 PM, where he will release the 19th installment of the PM KISAN scheme and inaugurate several developmental projects.
Under the PM KISAN scheme, over 9.7 crore farmers across India will receive direct financial benefits exceeding ₹21,500 crore. The initiative underscores the government’s commitment to farmer welfare.
Additionally, the Prime Minister will inaugurate the Centre of Excellence for Indigenous Breeds in Motihari under the Rashtriya Gokul Mission. This center aims to introduce cutting-edge IVF technology, promote elite indigenous breed production, and train farmers in modern reproductive techniques.
Another key project includes the Milk Product Plant in Barauni, which is expected to provide an organized market for approximately three lakh milk producers.
Boosting Connectivity and Infrastructure
In a push towards infrastructure development, PM Modi will also dedicate to the nation:
- Doubling of the Warisaliganj–Nawada–Tilaiya rail section, valued at ₹526 crore.
- Ismailpur and Rafiganj Road Over Bridge, aimed at improving regional connectivity.
With these announcements, the Prime Minister continues his focus on Bihar’s development, strengthening agriculture, infrastructure, and rural economy.
