Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said that just like the people of the state can save themselves from Covid-19 with a mask, similarly with a single vote they can save Bihar from becoming "bimar" (sick). "Just like you can save your self from Covid-19 with a mask, similarly with a single vote you can save Bihar from becoming 'bimar'," said PM Modi while addressing a public rally in Patna. "In the last decade and a half, Bihar has strongly stepped up the move from misrule to good governance under the leadership of Nitishji. Due to the efforts of the NDA government, Bihar has come a long way from inconvenience to convenience, from darkness to light, from distrust to trust, from kidnapping of industries to opportunities,"
