This could be a benefit for the ruling party. If they are actually able to gradually solve the grave problems faced by Bihari youth, the NDA will grab a major voter base.
Recently, the central government has also announced a massive ₹76,000 crore investment for improving rural connectivity in Bihar. Under the fourth phase of PMGSY, around 45,000 kilometres of rural roads will be constructed. You can read all the details here.
