Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said on Wednesday that the 2024 Lok Sabha election may happen before schedule. He said this during a programme of the rural works department in which he laid the foundation stone and inaugurated 5,061 projects worth ₹6,680.67 crore via video conferencing.
While instructing the officials to complete the work, Mr. Kumar said, “You people are claiming to complete the work by January 2024, but I will urge you to complete before that. The sooner it happens the better, because who knows when the elections will be held? Is it necessary that elections will be held next year itself? Who knows if elections would be held before time? So, act fast.”
The programme was held at 1, Aney Marg, the official residence of the Chief Minister in which Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Prasad Yadav was also present. Earlier, Mr. Kumar said that he had worked in Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s government and he started the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana across the country.
