PATNA: The Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) on Thursday released its Vision Document for the upcoming Bihar assembly elections. Releasing the party’s vision document, finance minister Arun Jaitley slammed the Nitish-Kumar led ‘Grand Alliance’, saying it’s time to end the “jungle raj” in Bihar.
Terming the Congress-JD(U)-RJD alliance opportunistic, Jaitley said that “political consistency” is not the virtue of any of the participants of this alliance.Jaitley said all these three parties had failed the people of Bihar.
“We need to rescue Bihar from backwardness. Congress, JD(U )and RJD have ruled Bihar for 68 years but have not done much for it. Our vision document is a charter for development,” Jaitley said.
“Youths from Bihar move to other states looking for jobs. We want to bring an end to it,” Jaitley said.
Citing BJP’s development credentials, Jaitley said “Madhya Pradesh was among BIMARU states – there were no roads, no electricity. But we changed it in 15 years.”
On the issue of who will be the chief ministerial candidate of the BJP-led alliance, Jaitley said that “we will name the chief minister after the elections”.
The BJP is braced for a tough battle in the polls which will be be conducted from October 12 and will conclude on November 5. The results will be known on November 8.
