This is a red-letter day for our lovely state Bihar. The courageous, bold and absolutely necessary step taken by Bihar Govt. will soon make Bihar the best governing state in India. Its effect will be soon felt in whole India. This decision of the Bihar Cabinet will turn out to be a milestone in removing corruption in our state and should be used as precedence for other states too. This move by the Hon'ble Chief-Minister Shri Nistish Kumar ji and the Hon'ble Dy Chief Minister Shri Sushil Modi ji will again prove that Bihar can lead whole India and eventually the whole World!
We wish all the success for the Govt.
