INDIA bloc&rsquo;s chief ministerial candidate Tejashwi Yadav on Saturday pledged to transform Bihar into one of the country&rsquo;s leading states by drawing in investment and establishing factories if his coalition is elected to popower.
Addressing rallies in Parbatta and Alauli in Khagaria district and Shahpur in Bhojpur, Yadav said his aim was not just to form a government but to rebuild Bihar from the ground up.
&ldquo;We must make Bihar number one, and that requires investments, quality education, and accessible healthcare,&rdquo; he said.
Taking a swipe at Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Yadav said Shah had claimed that factories couldn&rsquo;t be established in Bihar due to lack of land. 
&ldquo;We will set up factories here and attract investment to put Bihar on the path of progress,&rdquo; he asserted.
The RJD leader accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi&rsquo;s government of neglecting Bihar. 
&ldquo;The PM has not set up even a needle factory here. He builds factories in Gujarat and comes to Bihar only to seek votes,&rdquo; Yadav alleged.
Criticising Chief Minister Nitish Kumar&rsquo;s prohibition policy, Yadav claimed that the liquor ban was only on paper. 
&ldquo;Liquor is delivered to the rich while the poor, especially women, are harassed in raids. Even seized alcohol goes missing from police custody,&rdquo; he said.
Yadav further accused Modi of &ldquo;hijacking&rdquo; Nitish Kumar, adding that the CM was &ldquo;no longer capable of leading Bihar.&rdquo;
He promised that if the INDIA bloc came to power, a law would be enacted within 20 days to ensure every family gets a government job, with recruitment completed in 20 months. 
&ldquo;I cannot bear to see the pain of unemployed graduates,&rdquo; he said.
He also reiterated that his government would regularise contractual workers and provide women with ₹30,000 annually in a single instalment.
