Narrative of performance will win over falsehood: Ravi Shankar Prasad

November 2, 2020

Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad has been based in Patna for the NDA campaign and he tells Akhilesh Kumar Singh why the opposition’s attacks on the Bihar government’s track record will not work as the RJD Congress combine lacks credibility with JD(U)-BJP having delivered good governance.

The first phase of polling is over and reports suggest a close contest between the two alliances.
Let me straightaway come to the point, does Bihar have electricity in every village ? The answer is yes. I campaigned in Bihar and I asked how much time it takes to reach Araria and Purnia from Patna, they say five hours, earlier it used to take 10-12 hours. There are roads, village roads. Now we are bringing optical fibre network to all 45,000 villages, good internet with wifi facility.
The point is, what is the narrative ? Narrative of performance or narrative of falsehood. And I am quite sure people of Bihar will repose faith in NDA and Nitish Babu.
