The Union Minister of State for Rural Development said people now want change and under the leadership of Narendra Modi, NDA would achieve the desired results in Jharkhand and Bihar.
"Growing popularity of Narendra Modi in the country will not hamper the seat sharing formula in Bihar. Rather all constituent parties of NDA including BJP and Lok Janshakti Party will enter the electoral field with new vigour," he said stressing that a Maharashtra-like situation would not appear in Bihar.
"Nitish Kumar is demanding 'mazdoori' (labour charge) from people of the state. When he did not work in the state, then for what reason will the people give him mazdoori? He has only pushed the state to anarchy," he said.
Reacting over the resentment of doctors in Bihar over a statement of Chief Minister Jitan Ram Majhi, the Union Minister said the CM was making controversial statements in sheer frustration as bureaucrats do not obey his directives.
