Patna (Bihar) [India], May 4 : Referring to the question about the construction of Darbhanga AIIMS by former Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Prasad Yadav after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Darbhanga on Saturday, Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) president Chirag Paswan said that if they (Tejashwi) had done some work during their tenure, they would not need to ask such questions now.
Specifying the completion of Darbhanga AIIMS Paswan said, "Within time it will be completed".
"Within time it will be completed, but those are showing so much concern, so what they did for hospitals during their tenure. You have been the health minister as well what have you done for hospitals, is situation of Bihar's hospitals is hidden from anyone. Two of the chief ministers are from your family so why have health facilities in Bihar not got fixed? Raising fingers at others is easy, but if you guys had done your jobs then you would not have been asking such questions. But would have been fighting elections on your achievements," said Paswan.
Further talking about promises made by PM Modi to the people of Bihar Chirag said, "Every Bihari has faith in promises made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi that every promise will and are fulfilled that's why with every election the NDA government is witnessing pro incumbency. The reality is that the opposition has no issues left that's why they are making a personnel attack on PM Modi. The work done in last 10 years is the reason, the country is heading towards becoming a developed state by 2047."
Earlier, In a veiled attack on former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday called the RJD leader a 'shehzada' equivalent to that of Congress leader in Delhi (Rahul Gandhi) who considers the entire Bihar as his "jagir" (property).
Addressing a rally in Darbhanga, PM Modi said that he has tabled a vision for the next 25 years.
"I have given a roadmap of development for the next five years. I have also tabled a vision for the next 25 years, but it is also important to keep in mind the past. Similar to a 'shahzada' in Delhi, there's a 'shahzada' in Patna too. One 'shehzada' considers entire India as his' jagir' since his childhood, and another one considers the entire Bihar as his 'jagir'. The report cards of these two prince are the same. There is nothing in their report card except scams," PM Modi said.
Darbhanga Lok Sabha constituency is one of the 40 Lok Sabha (parliamentary) constituencies in Bihar. The voting here will be held on May 13 in the fourth phase. 40 seats in Bihar are undergoing polls in all seven phases.
In 2019, the BJP-led NDA swept the state by winning 39 out of 40 seats, while Congress won just one seat. RJD, a formidable force in the state, failed to open its account.
