The BJP Rajya Sabha MP also said that the proposed bridge over the Ganga river would help lakhs of people, especially the farmers, who would be able to take their produce to the market.
Similarly, the distance among various cities would be reduced and people from neighbouring states would also be able to use it to enter Bihar.
