Muzaffarpur: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday announced that in the next five years, the state government will provide jobs to one crore youth. He also targeted the opposition over law and order and poor infrastructure.
Addressing a rally, CM Nitish emphasised that his government has already given jobs to 50 lakh youth.
"...A total of 50 lakh youth have been given government jobs. We have decided that in the next 5 years we will provide jobs to 1 crore youth...," he said.
Further, the Bihar CM said that his government has been consistently working for the state's development over the past 20 years, recalling the poor state of law and order, education, and infrastructure before his tenure.
He asserted that under his leadership, Bihar has transformed with improved roads, electricity, and peace, replacing the earlier atmosphere of fear with one of love, brotherhood, and harmony.
"Our government has been engaged in development work for 20 years continuously, but remember the condition of the government before us. People did not go out of their homes after evening... There was so much conflict in the society... The condition of education was also the same... There were very few roads and electricity was available in very few houses... But when we got the opportunity, we worked for everyone... Now there is no atmosphere of any kind of fear or intimidation. There is an atmosphere of love, brotherhood and peace in the state...," Nitish Kumar said.
