In an extensive election campaign for the Bihar assembly polls, Chief Minister and JD(U) national president Nitish Kumar demonstrated an unparalleled commitment to public outreach by holding a massive number of political gatherings across the state.
Record-Breaking Campaign Trail
Nitish Kumar held a total of 84 election meetings throughout Bihar during the month-long campaigning period, according to senior party officials. The campaign strategy showcased a unique blend of efficiency and grassroots connection, with the Chief Minister traveling to 73 locations via airways and taking the road route for 11 other destinations.
Direct Public Connection Through Road Travel
What made this campaign particularly remarkable was Kumar's decision to undertake nearly 1,000 kilometres of road travel, establishing direct contact with common people and grassroots-level JD(U) workers across eight assembly constituencies. JD(U) general secretary and state's rural works minister Ashok Choudhary emphasized that this approach proved Kumar considers public service as his highest priority.
During these road trips, the Chief Minister didn't just pass through areas but actively engaged with local communities. He interacted with people in rural areas, informed them about various public welfare schemes implemented by the state government, and shared details about development works being carried out by the NDA government.
Symbol of Dedication and Continuity
Party spokesperson Arvind Nishad told media that the long road journey undertaken by the CM demonstrates that Nitish Kumar is not limited to platforms only but considers it his responsibility to engage directly with the common public. The extensive public outreach campaign, according to party leaders, symbolizes Kumar's continuity, dedication, and deep connection with the people of Bihar.
Throughout the campaigning period, Kumar also made time to meet NDA candidates in various assembly constituencies located along his route. He personally honored them with garlands and appealed to the public to support these candidates, showing his commitment to the broader NDA alliance's success in the assembly polls.
The campaign strategy, combining both aerial efficiency through 73 air trips and grassroots connectivity through substantial road travel, highlights Kumar's comprehensive approach to election campaigning and his determination to reach every corner of Bihar.
