Union Minister Nityanand Rai on Monday lashed out at RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav’s claim that there are no industries and factories in Bihar even after a Nitish-BJP government for 20 years in the state, saying that Bihar has brought progress in every sector, from ethanol to IT parks, food processing, dairy, and tourism.
In a post on X, the Union Minister wrote, “During your father and mother’s regime, Bihar was groaning under jungle raj, goonda raj, corruption, massacres, and starvation. In that same Bihar, the NDA government has brought progress in every sector.”
Sharing a list of the top 10 states with the most factories, Tejashwi Yadav asked the Bihar Government, “Bihar has had a Nitish-BJP government for 20 years.”
बिहार में 20 वर्षों से नीतीश-बीजेपी की सरकार है। 11 सालों से केंद्र में मोदी-नीतीश सरकार है फिर भी बिहार में उद्योग और फैक्ट्री नहीं है। इस सूची में बिहार कहाँ है, ढूंढिए? #TejashwiYadav #Bihar #RJD pic.twitter.com/qz1w6jgwCZ

He wrote that Bihar has become a hub for food processing. The Pristine Mega Food Park in Khagaria has already started, while the Mega Food Park in Motipur, Muzaffarpur, is ready.

9. पलायन
राबड़ी-लालू राज में बिहारी को मजबूरी में पलायन करना पड़ा। जहां 2005 में नौजवानों का पलायन 11 % था वही 2025 में घटकर मात्र 2% पलायन रह गया है। बिहार के बाहर जहां 57 लाख लोग रहते हैं उसमें से 5 लाख छात्र पढ़ाई करने की खातिर बिहार से बाहर है। साफ है कि पलायन घट रहा है और…— Nityanand Rai (@nityanandraibjp) September 8, 2025
