Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Thursday kicked off JDU's campaign for the upcoming Assembly elections through a programme called "Har Ghar Dastak", to seek feedback about the work done by the state government in the past.
As part of the programme, the Chief Minister went to 10 households in Paschim Darwaza, currently represented by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Nand Kishore Yadav, under the Patna Sahib Assembly constituency.
The interactive programme with people was formally launched by state JDU president Basistha Narayan Singh at party headquarters in Patna. Party MPs Pavan Varma, RCP Singh and Harbansh were also present on the occasion.
Starting the programme after offering prayer at Badi Patandevi temple, Kumar went to the house of one Krishna Sahu near Paschim Darwaza. The Chief Minister asked the family members if they were satisfied with the work done by his government in the past 10 years and also sought views about what the government should do in the future.
The Chief Minister met nine other families in the area.
Kumar told reporters that he as a disciplined soldier of JDU had started the "Har Ghar Dastak" programme after it was launched by state party chief.
He said efforts would be made to reach out to one crore homes under the programme.
Bihar JDU spokesperson and MLC Sanjay Singh said that "Har Ghar Dastak" programme would run in two phases from July 2 to July 11 and from July 21 to July 31.
He said that at least 10,000 party workers would have a "direct conversation" with people on the functioning of the state government as part of the programme.
