He said the government aims to build a “network of industries” across Bihar, creating large-scale employment in both urban and rural regions. “The focus is not only on big industries. We are working to fulfil the vision of establishing industries in every household and ensuring jobs for everyone,” Jaiswal said.

A review meeting was also held with party workers from Bhagalpur, Kosi and the districts under Purnea division. A resolution was passed to work more cohesively in the coming months. Jaiswal praised BJP workers for their dedication during the election campaign.
