TL;DR: PM Modi has launched ₹7,000 cr+ development blitz in eastern India—Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, West Bengal—claiming the region will drive India’s growth just like booming East Asian nations. With ₹9 trillion allocated to Bihar over the past decade, 40 million PM Awaas homes built, IT parks, rail upgrades, fisheries, electronics hubs, and women-led financing, he’s hyped eastern India as a game-changer ahead of Bihar elections. #EasternRevolution

🗣️ MediaFx POV
From people’s perspective, this isn’t just empty pop talk—it’s real investments and jobs reaching ordinary folk. But we gotta watch where the money flows. Are small farmers & tribal folks really benefitting, or are mega-corporates earning the most? 🎯
True progress lies in equal land rights, local job creation, women-led #SHGs, and community-run industries—not just flashy billboards. East India's rise should echo the dreams of daily wage labourers, fishermen, Dalit and tribal sisters, and youth service workers. Let the #EasternRevolution lighten up every panchayat, not just party strongholds.
