          Patna,(BiharTimes):   For a change it was not Nitish Kumar but Narendra Modi who addressed Bihari on   the occasion of Bihar Diwas celebration in Surat on Sunday. In fact Nitish was   not even invited by Bihar Samaj of Surat, the organization which organized the   function. |  Unlike other Bihar   Diwas functions organized in Patna, Delhi and Mumbai this was all-BJP affair   with the state health minister, Ashwini Choubey, very much on the dais. He went   to project Narendra Modi and not Nitish Kumar as the prime ministerial candidate   on that occasion. Without taking the   name of anyone Choubey said people from his state were accepted in Gujarat and   allowed to grow here but some states opposed them.  “Gujarat has given us   the strength to take our state to a new level of development,” he said.  Narendra Modi, on his   part, said that the image of Bihar has to be “restored” and its glory   “re-established”.  He said image of   Bihar has taken a beating in spite of state’s contribution for development of   the country, he said adding that Bihar is a state which has produced Gautam   Buddha, Mahavir, Ashoka the Great etc. Now it is required to change its image   and re-establish the glory of Bihar.  Incidentally, Modi   addressed Biharis in his state a day after his famous handshake with Nitish   Kumar in New Delhi on Saturday. Besides, Assembly   election is due in Gujarat later this year.     comments... Ultimate mature step taken by MR.   NARENDRA MODI;THAT MATCH CONTRY’S PRIMINISTRIAL  MATTERIAL REQUIREMENT.GO AHEAD   WITH SUCH UNIVERSAL THINKING AND WIN THE PEPULE AND DOES NOT HEGITATE TO COME   BIHAR DUE TO SMALL POLTICIAN OBJECTION.
