PM Modi to inaugurate six-lane Ganga bridge in Bihar on November 21
The Prime Minister will visit Vaishali to launch various development projects and mark the first anniversary of the NDA government.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Vaishali in Bihar on November 21 to inaugurate the six-lane Kachchi Dargah-Bidupur bridge and lay foundation stones for several development projects, according to reports by ANI and The Times of India.
The 19-km project includes a 9-km main bridge and approach roads. The infrastructure is intended to better connect north and south Bihar, shorten the travel duration between Patna and Vaishali, and lower traffic density on current roads.
BJP Bihar president Sanjay Saraogi announced the visit during a joint press conference of NDA constituent state presidents on Monday. He noted that the visit follows the completion of one year of the NDA government in Bihar on November 20.
Saraogi said the Prime Minister is scheduled to attend a programme at the Jafarpatti Industrial Area in the Rajapakar block of Vaishali district. He added that the Prime Minister's visits consistently bring development initiatives to the state.
In Vaishali, 1,243 acres of land have been acquired for the construction of a park. JD(U) state president Umesh Singh Kushwaha said the visit would provide fresh momentum to the state's development.
However, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader and Bihar Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav criticised the visit. Yadav alleged that Bihar has not received enough support from the Central government and claimed the state government has failed to manage crime, education, and healthcare.
