Ground Report: Bihar’s Villages Speak - Pain, Migration & Lost Promises

In this powerful ground report from Witty Chokha’s Bihar Election Yatra, journalist Rohit Jha travels deep into the villages of rural Bihar to capture the real voices behind the votes. Amidst the green farmlands and cracked mud roads, the camera meets the people who live far from headlines farmers, mothers, and laborers struggling to survive on government pensions, small wages, and basic meals of salt and roti.

The episode features the heartbreaking story of a mother whose son migrated to Chandigarh in search of a better life, only to lose it far away from home. Her grief reflects the larger tragedy of migration that defines Bihar where poverty, joblessness, and lack of opportunity force families apart.

Farmers interviewed by Rohit Jha speak candidly about their daily challenges from rising costs of seeds and fertilizers to the absence of local employment and healthcare. Many admit that government schemes exist only on paper and that politicians return only during elections.

Yet, despite their suffering, there’s a quiet resilience and dignity in their voices a belief that someday, Bihar will rise beyond promises and politics.

As Bihar Election 2025 approaches, this report goes beyond party manifestos to uncover the emotional truth of rural Bihar a land of pain, patience, and unbroken hope.
