Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said Bihar always came forward to blow the trumpet of protest whenever an attempt was made to crush the Constitution of India. The prime minister said this was because the state’s history and heritage were steeped in democratic ideals. Bihar espoused the concept that democracy in India is as ancient as the country’s culture, he added. “When large parts of the world were taking their first steps towards civilisation and culture, a sophisticated democracy was operating in Vaishali. When the understanding of democratic rights began to develop in other regions of the world, republics like Lichchavi and Vajjisangh were at their peak,” PM Modi said, addressing the closing ceremony of the centenary celebrations of Bihar legislative assembly on Tuesday.
Modi said he had the privilege of being the first prime minister to visit the Bihar Vidhan Sabha complex. “It is the nature of Bihar that the one who loves Bihar, Bihar returns that love manifold. Today, I have also got the privilege of being the first prime minister of the country to visit Bihar Vidhan Sabha complex. I bow my heart to the people of Bihar for this affection,” he added.
