Hearty wishes and congratulations to all the people of the state on Bihar Day. The chapter of social justice, equality, and inclusive development is going to begin soon in Bihar. Now the time has come when Bihar has to play its role to protect democracy and the Constitution.”

The official X handle of the Bihar Pradesh Congress Committee also marked the occasion with a special message, stating, “Hearty congratulations to all the people of Bihar on Bihar Foundation Day.
