A victory for development, says Nitish Kumar

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said: the victory of JD (U)-BJP alliance is a victory for development. Talking to reporters after NDA’s landslide win in Patna on November 24, 2010, Nitish Kumar pledged to work harder in his second tenure.

He said the outcome of the elections also proved beyond doubt that it was a victory for development and for the people of the state.

"We have no magic wand, but people's trust. I will need to work harder than I did in the last five years and I will not hesitate," he remarked.

He said good governance and employment generation would be the top priorities of the government in next five years.
