It is a matter of pride that I got to meet all of you. Today is Valmiki Jayanti.. may Mata Sita grant us her blessings,” he said.
“It has been 16 months.. and I haven’t taken a single leave. For me, this satta is sewa-yagya where I am on duty all the time.. Even if my sewa (service) doesn’t reflect on TV or in newspapers.. I can still see it here in the crowds. This election will decide the fate of Bihar
You have to decide whom to trust for your future.” he added.
He said that if there is anything that can change your future, it is development. “On one hand there is development, on the other there is opportunism. The solution for all problems in Bihar, is not Modi, but development.”
