Title: Without PM Modi & CM Nitish, Bihar can’t progress: Dy CM Samrat
As the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government completes 11 years at the Centre, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister, Tejashwi Prasad Yadav’s younger brother and leader of the Lok Janshakti Party (LJP), Chirag Paswan, has been vocal about the state’s growth. However, it’s interesting to note that another senior leader from the same party, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister, Renu Devi’s husband, Samrat Chaudhary, has been singing a different tune.
Recently, Samrat Chaudhary credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for the state’s development, saying that without them, Bihar wouldn’t have progressed. In an interview, he stated, “PM has contributed around ₹15 lakh crore to Bihar’s development. Without them, Bihar can’t progress… because political opportunists are waiting to grab power again.”
It’s worth noting that Samrat Chaudhary’s statement comes at a time when the NDA is facing criticism from the opposition parties, including the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Congress, who have accused the government of not doing enough to address the state’s pressing issues, such as poverty, unemployment, and law and order.
However, Samrat Chaudhary’s opinion is not without merit. The fact remains that under the NDA rule, Bihar has seen significant development, including the construction of the Patna-Gaya road, which has improved connectivity between the two cities, and the development of the state’s airports, which has boosted tourism and trade.
Moreover, the NDA government has also invested heavily in education and healthcare, with the establishment of new universities, colleges, and hospitals. Additionally, the government has also implemented various schemes to benefit the poor and the marginalized, such as the Antyodaya Anna Yojana, which provides food grains to the poorest of the poor.
Samrat Chaudhary’s statement is also significant because it highlights the importance of political stability in a state like Bihar, which has a history of political instability. The state has seen several governments come and go, with the NDA being the longest-running government in the state’s history.
In fact, Bihar’s political landscape has been marked by frequent changes in government, with the state having had 10 different chief ministers in the last 25 years. This has led to a lack of continuity and stability, which has hindered the state’s development.
Samrat Chaudhary’s challenge to the opposition parties to acknowledge the development that has taken place in Bihar is also worth noting. He said, “I challenge LoPs to say development hasn’t taken place.” This is a bold statement, especially considering that the opposition parties have been critical of the NDA government’s policies and performance.
However, it’s also important to note that while the NDA government has made significant progress in Bihar, there is still much work to be done. The state still faces significant challenges, including poverty, unemployment, and law and order, which need to be addressed urgently.
In conclusion, Samrat Chaudhary’s statement highlights the importance of political stability and continuity in a state like Bihar. The NDA government’s development initiatives have been significant, and it’s essential to acknowledge and build upon them. However, it’s also crucial to recognize that there is still much work to be done to address the state’s pressing issues.
As Bihar looks to the future, it’s essential to build upon the progress made so far and to continue to work towards a brighter future for its citizens. Whether the NDA government can continue to deliver on its promises and address the state’s challenges remains to be seen.
