Patna,(BiharTimes): Chief minister Nitish Kumar’s four-day Sewa Yatra to East Champaran ended on Monday amidst widespread chaos, massive protest and demonstration against him in Areraj block of the district.
As in other places, a large number of para-teachers raised slogans against the chief minister as they have not got their salary for the last 22 months. The teachers alleged that the Sewa Yatra is just a Dhakusla, that is, a move to hoodwink the people. |
Not only that Mahadalits greeted the chief minister with brooms and chappals. They alleged of official apathy towards their demand.
Not only that the activists of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarathi Parishad also raised slogans against the chief minister. ABVP is the students wing of the alliance partner, BJP.
During the Yatra Nitish had to face the ire of the students of Motihari Engineering College. The students protested that the college not only lacks proper infrastructure but it has no faculty to teach them. Last year a large number of them came to Patna too to register their protest but the situation did not change.
Surprisingly, against the earlier announcement the chief minister did not inspect any office nor went to any village. Before undertaking the Sewa Yatra he had said that the basic objective of the Sewa Yatra is to listen to the problem of the people and make secret and surprise inspection of offices.
Local people in East Champaran questioned the very rationale behind the Yatra in which crores of rupees were spent.
Interestingly, only on Sunday the state BJP chief, Dr C P Thakur, in not so many words, too questioned the very reason behind the repeated Yatras. He also conceded that the state government is not doing very well.
