It is a good sign for the people of Bihar since this marks the end of the ‘goonda raj’ of Lalu Prasad Yadav. The appointment of Nitesh Kumar as chief minister will mean a new era in the development for the state. And if Bihar is developed, many Biharis, like me, will not have to come to Mumbai in search of basic needs.

This election has relieved people of Bihar from criminalisation of politics. There will be expectations from the government and I believe that Nitish Kumar will be able to deliver. People are desperate and want development. It will not be too long before Bihar once again becomes a place of peace, prosperity and progress.

Sudhee Ranjan, Senior marketing executive

This victory of Nitesh Kumar has triggered a lot of expectations among people of Bihar. The new government will be under constant scanner since its performance will be thoroughly evaluated at all levels.
