BJP promises jobs, development, political consistency in Bihar vision statement

October 01, 2015 15:01

The Bhartiya Janata Party 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.
