US EditionModi Inaugurates Infra Projects Worth ₹12,000 Crore in Bihar as State Gears up for Polls
Prime Minister Modi inaugurated infrastructure, health, and transport projects worth Rs 13,000 crore to boost development before Bihar's 2025 assembly elections, officials said.
- On Friday, August 22, 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated development projects worth around Rs 13,000 crore in Gaya, Bihar, including the Rs 6,880-crore Buxar thermal power plant and new trains at Magadh University campus, Bodh Gaya.
- Modi's repeated visits to Bihar this year reflect political campaigning, with the Gaya event timed ahead of the Bihar assembly elections due later this year.
- The programme also included health and housing milestones, with the PM inaugurating the Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, Muzaffarpur, and handing over keys under PMAY-Gramin and PMAY-U .
- Reacting sharply, BJP leaders condemned RJD president Lalu Prasad Yadav's remark that Modi came to perform the 'political last rites' of Nitish Kumar's party and asserted the NDA will prevail electorally.
- Officials argue the projects will bolster industry and jobs, and the large, highly secured Magadh University public event highlighted the high political stakes as Bihar heads to elections later this year.
