Patna,(BiharTimes): Almost a month ago Bihar chief minister went hammer and tongs against the BJP bigwigs. He lost his cool and cancelled dinner with them when newspapers carried advertisement showing Nitish Kumar hand-in-hand with his Gujarat conterpart Narendra Modi. Everyone, even his most trusted lieutenants were taken aback by his sudden change in stand.

On July 9, while, presenting the report card of the four-and-a-half years of his government he chose to remain silent on the issue. This he did so notwithstanding being prodded by journalists.

When asked whether Narendra Modi would campaign in Bihar in the coming assembly election or not, as has been sought by the BJP, he said “you continue to ask but I will continue to listen to you”.

He said that leaders of both the parties, have done excellent works. This is evident from the development which is being acknowledged in Bihar.

Its a criminal wastage of public money. It was our hard earn money and Nitish has spent it on publication of his big pix in Newspapers. We all are stonished to see his personal advt. in so many newspapers costing crores of rupees. Earlier he has corrupted govt. officers and now whole media industry was bribed ----- the money we paid to govt. The time has come to teach you a lesson.

Read your article about Media and Bihar. I have some close contacts in media, and I know...how facts are being reshaped, changed, modified to suit who matters.
The present day governement is similar to the government as shown in George Orwell's 1984. Ministry of Truth is changing the facts. Ministry of Plenty preaches that there is enough for one and all, while the opposite is the truth.

In Bihar, the roads I saw, bore a sign "Pradhan Mantri gram sadak Yojna"
No efforts has been made for forlaning of highways...I guess Bihar is the only state in India where Highways are two lanes. I read an article where money sanctioned for Low Floor Buses were returned unutilized, while we know the real condition of transport.

No Public transport is there. The condition of buses and the bus stands are pathetic. In the nearby UP, the public transport is healthy, so is the condition of bus stand.

Patna is simply a glorified village. There is no electricity in Patna's prime location for 6-8 hours..that is enough to give a glimpse into rest of Bihar's condition. Giving up land for IIT, AIIMS, AMU everything has been delayed and messed up with.

I don't understand where did the hype and hoopla over crores and crores of money supposedly coming from industrialist willing to invest go....

NO SUBSTANCE. Just STYLE.
