17/07/2010 Pilot blames Nitish for loot of public money Patna,(BiharTimes): A day after the Patna High Court had ordered CBI probe into the alleged misappropriation of fund Union Minister of State for Communications and Technology Sachin Pilot on Friday directly held chief minister Nitish Kumar responsible for the loot of central funds worth Rs 11,412 crore under MNREGA and other flagship programmes for the poor people. Talking to reporters he charged that Rs 11,412 crore, of the over Rs 95,000 crore allocated to the state by the Centre for implementation of central flagship programmes have been misused and looted by the Nitish Kumar government. Only on Thursday the Patna High Court had ordered a CBI probe into misappropriation and illegal withdrawal of Rs 11,412 crore from state treasury by the state governments since 2002. He said that the Nitish Kumar government would not succeed in either influencing or creating obstacles in the way of the CBI investigation into the alleged misappropriation of the central funds. Pilot, who is on a two-day visit to the state, blasted Nitish Kumar, for misusing public money for publicity and advertisements of his government. He said that this trick would not work as the people have now become aware. Pilot said that the state government failed to generate even a single Mega Watt power in its tenure, yet it is making false claim about development.
