The NDA manifesto is said to be a response to the Mahagathbandhan's promise of government jobs to every family in Bihar.
Talking about the manifesto, BJP's Bihar Chief Dilip Jaiswal said, "This manifesto is the guarantee of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the trust of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. NDA's unity symbolizes that of the 'Pandavas' in the Mahabharata. The people of Bihar trust the guarantees of PM Modi and CM Nitish Kumar. They will never forgive Rahul Gandhi and Tejaswi Yadav for the ruin of Bihar."
