Union Home Minister Amit Shah predicts BJP government formation in Bihar
During a visit to the ICP complex on the Jogbani border of India-Nepal, Union Home Minister Amit Shah made a statement that has stirred political circles. Addressing a conference, Shah smiled and stated that the BJP government will soon be formed in Bihar. This statement was met with applause, prompting speculations of a change in power.
Speculations arise from Shah’s statement
Shah’s 16-minute address mainly focused on border area development and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s approach towards friendly nations. However, his brief statement regarding the formation of a BJP government led to speculations about a potential change in power. Workers immediately began interpreting the statement, some associating it with the concept of One Nation One Election, while others speculated about a possible alliance between the BJP and JDU.
Shah’s departure fuels further speculation
After the program, Shah left for Delhi, but the speculations surrounding a change in power continued to create a stir in political circles. The Union Home Minister emphasized that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is fully committed to developing the border areas.
In the past, the border areas had been neglected in terms of development, leading to various issues in villages neighboring the neighboring country. Trade and cultural relations with the neighboring country were not a priority.
Infiltration, land grabbing, and illegal trade were common in the border areas. To address these challenges, the Prime Minister has decided to prioritize the development of these border areas, taking various steps simultaneously.
Efforts to strengthen relations with neighboring nations
The government is focusing on promoting trade, contact, and cultural as well as social relations with friendly nations such as Nepal and Bhutan. The Indian Land Port Authority is undertaking significant projects in these areas.
Additionally, the construction of three ICPs (Integrated Check Posts) on the Nepal border connecting Bihar is underway. The Jogbani ICP alone accounts for 14% of the total trade between India and Nepal. Furthermore, the construction of ten land custom stations on the India-Nepal border connected to Bihar is also in progress. These ICPs not only serve as trade centers but also act as communication hubs between the two countries.
