Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday assured to revive Bihar’s defunct sugar mills within the next five years. He made the announcement while addressing voters virtually after his helicopter was unable to take off from Patna due to adverse weather conditions.
Speaking at the virtual rally as part of the ongoing Bihar Assembly Poll 2025 campaign, Shah highlighted the Modi government’s efforts to rejuvenate the sugar industry in the state. He cited the revival of the Riga sugar mill as an example and assured that similar initiatives would be undertaken across Bihar.
“The closed sugar mills in Bihar will be restarted within the next five years and will work for the welfare of farmers,” Shah said, reaffirming the Centre’s commitment to industrial revival in the state.
He said, “The NDA government has constructed an expressway from Dumaria Ghat to Patna in Gopalganj district at a cost of Rs 2,200 crore. A modern LPG bottling plant has been constructed in Hathua at a cost of Rs 340 crore… Flight services will soon begin at the airport in Sabeya, Gopalganj. We have granted administrative approval for the Mirganj bypass road at a cost of Rs 131 crore. Work is underway to expand the Chapra-Gopalganj section to four lanes, and the Thawe Junction is being renovated. Our NDA government has undertaken numerous such development projects. I want to say that you should ensure the victory of candidates from the BJP, JDU, and our allies in all Gopalganj seats… Take Bihar forward under the leadership of PM Modi and Nitish Kumar.”
