Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday called for booth-level coordination and unity among NDA workers in the Bihar election.
“A party wins when every booth is strong,” Modi said in his virtual address to Bihar’s BJP booth-level workers.
The PM urged the BJP workers to coordinate with alliance partners. “Where there is no BJP candidate, we have to get connected with other NDA candidates. We have to show our full prowess… If an NDA government is formed again in Bihar, it will enhance the respect of every BJP worker,” the PM said.
During the interaction, the PM asked a woman booth worker to address him as brother instead of sir, saying women are his biggest strength, shield and inspiration. He expressed confidence that Bihar would celebrate “another Diwali” on November 14 with NDA’s victory.
The PM also asked BJP workers to host special programmes at the booth level on Bhai Dooj (October 23) for all “sisters” and also honour ‘lakhpati didis’ and ‘drone didis’ in their respective areas. Modi asked BJP workers to reach out to every household to spread awareness about the schemes launched by the Centre and the Nitish Kumar government.
He said the youth of Bihar should be briefed on the perils of “jungle raj” when Naxalism thrived. “BJP workers should take youths to exhibitions across Bihar showing the atrocities during the ‘jungle raj’,” he said, in an apparent reference to the RJD rule. “We can’t risk allowing those who can let a Naxal resurgence to return to power. It is the votes of the people that has saved Bihar from the RJD and the Congress,” he said.
