Modi is ‘Maker of Developed India’: Venkaiah Naidu

CHHAPRA: Union urban development and parliamentary affairs minister Venkaiah Naidu on Saturday said the full form of MODI is 'Maker of Developed India'.

Addressing members of the BJP's intellectual cell here, Naidu said development in the country was not possible if Bihar remained under-developed. "The entire world is keeping a close watch on India and the country is looking at Bihar," Naidu said. He urged the people of Saran district to ensure victory of NDA candidates in all the 10 constituencies of the district.

Maintaining that this election will decide the future of the state, Naidu said, "The need of the hour is to forget Issues like forward-backward caste and beef and work for the development of Bihar. The country has tasted fruits of development under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi and an international rating agency has remarked that India has established a good image in the world." Claiming that India's GDP growth rate stood at 7% in September, Naidu said the government led by Modi at the Centre was corruption-free.

Dubbing Nitish-Lalu alliance as "unholy", Naidu said the issues highlighted more than 15 years ago were still relevant in Bihar. "This unholy alliance will taste a big defeat this time," Naidu said.

Seeking votes for BJP's Chhapra candidate Dr C N Gupta, he said, "Your one vote would lead to formation of a better government in Bihar. It would also increase the strength of BJP in Rajya Sabha and pave way for passage of some of the key bills in the Upper House."
