Patna, (Bihar Times): Now it is Ram Bilas Paswan’s turn to flay the Nitish Kumar
government over the non-availability of land for the industries in Bihar.
Addressing a public meeting in Tekari sub division of Gaya district on Wednesday
to garner support for his November 28 Sankalp Rally the Union minister for steel
and fertilizer said the demand for setting up an industry like Bokaro Steel Plant
had no relevance when the state government had failed to provide land to set up
an industry. He said the Nitish Kumar government had failed to ensure all-round
development of Bihar and Lok Janshakti Party was the only alternative here. Quoting
from the data he said that the state government was indulging in black-marketing
the fertilizers. He offered to quit from the ministry and even give up Parliament
seat if his data was proved wrong. It needs to be mentioned that a couple of days
back Nitish Kumar accused Paswan of misleading people over the fertilizer issue.
Paswan is the second Union minister after Lalu Yadav who accused the Nitish government
of not providing land for the developmental projects for the state. Nitish on
his part retorted that he would not allow Nandigram to take place in Bihar.
