Nitish Kumar’s historic fifth oath signals Bihar’s political renaissance under Modi’s vision

Nitish Kumar is set to take his fifth oath as Bihar's Chief Minister, a testament to the state's resilience and talent. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's decade-long support and recent calls to restore Bihar's pride and dignity have resonated deeply with voters.

PM Modi's journey with Bihar began in 2012, when he delivered a stirring speech in Surat. He flipped the narrative, asserting that Bihar's global contributions were often overshadowed by deliberate defamation. He urged the nation to celebrate Bihar's pride and dignity, marking Bihar Diwas in 2012.

In his speech, PM Modi recalled a Bihari whose 'melodious language' left a lasting impression, highlighting the lyrical charm of Bhojpuri and Maithili. He urged Bihari migrants in Gujarat to channel their skills back to Bihar, spotlighting their role in the state's textile mills and diamond bourse.

The recent Bihar Assembly poll verdict reflects this groundswell. The NDA secured 46.6% of the votes, mirroring the sentiment among migrants and their families who credit PM Modi's platforms for restoring dignity. Tejashwi Yadav's MGB, with 37.9% votes and 25 seats, couldn't counter this fusion of welfare and worldview.

PM Modi's deep-rooted affinity for Bihar, forged through cultural confluence and advocacy, has translated into electoral success. As Nitish Kumar prepares to take his oath, the state looks ahead with renewed pride and dignity, ready to build on the momentum created by PM Modi's vision.
