PM Modi Inaugurates three petroleum sector project in Bihar

Ahead of the assembly elections in Bihar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday gave Chief Minister Nitish Kumar a pat on his back for ushering in sushasan (good governance) and expressed confidence that the good work will continue under the leadership of the JD(U) chief.

Modi dedicated to the nation three key projects related to the petroleum sector
worth about Rs 900 crore via video conferencing in Bihar.

The projects include the Durgapur-Banka section of the Paradip-Haldia-Durgapur pipeline augmentation project and two LPG bottling plants, the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) said in a statement on Friday. 

"In the last 15 years, Bihar has shown that development happens with the right government, decisions, and policies, and also reaches everyone. We are working for the growth of all sectors in Bihar," said Modi.

Bihar was plagued by mindset where road projects were sneered at with query about their worth for those without vehicles, added Modi.

During his address, PM Modi also took a jibe at the opposition and said that "eastern India and Bihar’s infrastructure was never prioritised", highlighting the different schemes launched by his government for the development of the state.
