PM's Bihar visit should go beyond political campaigning: Congress

Patna, Nov 12 (UNI) The Bihar Pradesh Congress Committee today said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's proposed visit to Bihar would be meaningful only if he addressed the pressing concerns and real problems confronting the people of the state, rather than limiting his engagements to political campaigning and speeches.
Chairman of the Media and Publicity Department of the Bihar Pradesh Congress Committee, Ajay Kumar Paswan said here that the people of Bihar continued to grapple with unemployment, migration, inflation, farmers'' distress, a deteriorating education system and inadequate healthcare facilities.
He said a large number of young people were still compelled to migrate to other states in search of employment, while people affected by floods and other natural disasters continued to require adequate relief and assistance.
