- Anumandal Bhavan (Government Offices): Built Balia's first Anumandal Bhavan (Government Offices). Made it easy for the public to visit the government offices in one spot, and allowed for greater coordination and streamlined work between the various government departments
- Roads: Roads were in a terrible condition due to 15-20 years of negligence. Jamshaid got various roads and bridges constructed under the Pradhanmantri Gram Sadak Yojna (PMGSY) – such as Mir Alipur to Madhu Sudanpur and the Awadh Tirhut Road. Similarly, in Deira area of Balia, there were absolutely no roads at all. Using PMGSY and MMGSY, he got all the required roads constructed in Deira – this was the first time that something like this had ever been done in Balia.
- Healthcare: Built a 75 bed hospital in Balia – the first proper hospital in Balia. Before this, people had to travel all the way to Begusarai for proper treatment and healthcare
- Police Station: Built the first police station in Dandori – there was no police station there, and the closest police station used to be in Sahebpur Kamal, which meant that police couldn’t monitor Dandori well, and that the people living in Dandori had to travel all the way to Sahebpur Kamal if they needed a police station
- Registration Office: Similarly there was no registration office in Balia – Jamshaid had one built there
- Vakalatkhana (Lawyer Library): In Balia court there was no Vakalatkhana for lawyers, severely inconveniencing all the lawyers as well as the people who were their clients – Jamshaid had one built and made operational there.
- Nagar Nigam Conversion: In the history of Bihar, for the first time, a cabinet meeting was held outside Patna, at Jamshaid Ashraf’s constituency, in village Barbighi. Begusarai, was converted from Nagar Palika to Nagar Nigam, which led to greater funds for development and higher level of recognition. Simultaneously Balia, Teghra, Bakhri and Bihat were given the status of Nagar Panchayat and Nagar Parishad, leading to better governance and more funds for development.

Gaya is now used as the default airport in Bihar and provides direct flights to Hajis, making it much easier and giving them a lot of relief
- By initiating sending representative from the Bihar State Haj Committee along with the Central Haj Committee for selection of accommodation for Hajis in Mecca and Medina, significantly improved the level and quality of accommodation available to Bihari Hajis

- The Illusion of Secularism: Since Independence, Muslims have been fooled by parties that wave the flag of secularism as a lure to get votes, but do nothing for Muslim uplifment. Even Sachhar committee’s and Justice Ranganathan’s report had stated that the Indian Muslims are in a worse off condition than the Mahadalits
- A clear example of this is that 15% of the Muslims were below poverty line (BPL) after Independence, whereas almost 45% of them are BPL today
- Muslim Bedari Muhim was started by Jamshaid Ashraf to spread awareness amongst Muslims that we should leave behind the fake debate of secularism versus communalism, and focus on development – education for our children, jobs for youngsters, clean water and a transparent government are far more important
- Through MBM, Jamshaid has visited dozens of districts at his own expense to spread this message, and continues to visit more. Additionally, he has also sent 4 vehicles with good educated young men to spread the message. All the vehicles are installed with external LED TVs, which play his recorded video to convey his message to all the villagers – greatly extending his reach. The target is to spread the awareness and truth to the Muslims, and get at least 1 lac Muslims to join BJP
- The reason he is doing this is because he truly believes and is 100% convinced that Mr. Narendra Modi will actually help the Muslims. Mr. Narendra Modi's vision of Muslims with a Quran in one hand and a computer in the other bodes well – sabka saath, sabka vikaas. By bringing the Muslims to back BJP, we can get representation as well as development, because only through development and education lies the path to true secularism
