Bihar on crossroads again

Kashmir Times. Dated: 10/2/2012 12:03:04 AM

Dear Editor,
The NDA government in Bihar headed by the able Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has come under fire by none other its ally, BJP in the State. Upon beginning his innings in the State administration, the Nitish govt had ensured the populace of a bright future by announcing certain path-breaking schemes, including those meant for the upliftment of the women population for the for the first time in the history of the State. It was hoped that the govt would deliver in due course of time the promise made to the natives, but it is altogether a different scene where corruption has surfaced in a number of schemes announced by the CM.
What is ironical that the clean image of the CM has been sullied by the sycophants who every now and then don’t tire to associate themselves with him! With the latter accepting bribes amounting to crores, the BJP has found out a ready issue to corner the Bihar govt. Looks like the ‘climax theory’ plays its role in every situation whereby the period of promise and hope is often followed by a reign of despair and fall. Yet, it remains to be seen what the educated CM has to offer, given his background of clean administration till yesterday.
