The recent data released by Central Statistics
Office (CSO) and Bihar economic Survey has revealed true story of Nitish
Kumar’s economy with the state's GDP growth tumbling down — from a high of
15.05% in 2012-13 to an estimated 8.82% in 2013-14. Incidentally, the ebbing of
growth coincides with the split in the JD(U)-BJP alliance in mid-June 2013.
Three quarters later, the state's estimated growth has seen one of the steepest
falls ever, according to data from Central Statistics Office (CSO). Ironically
during the alliance the ministries governed by BJP ministers showed remarkable
growth while that of JD (U) were the laggards’.
Energy, Rural development, Food & Consumer Protection, Home &
General Administration, Industries and water management ministries have all
suffered due to JDU’s minister’s misgovernance, maladministration, policy
paralysis and corruption. The National Average per capita electricity
consumption is 778.63 and that of Bihar is 118 kwh the lowest in the country.
With peak demand of 2,642 MW in 2012-13, the installed capacity is only 440 MW
in thermal power plants and 54.3 MW in hydel power and generation of just 148
MW; in 2011-12 the generation was only 38.9 MW . The state in which the general
administration, home, vigilance, law and order has been personally handled by the
CM Nitish Kumar from the very beginning the increase in the level of corruption
in Govt. departments to an all-time high, Maoists attack on people and increase
of terrorist activities in the state, leaves a lot to be explained by him. With
vote bank politics, appeasement the state has become a safe breeding and hiding
ground of terrorists and criminals.
Investigating agencies are finding
it difficult to crack on terror in the state. With 12 out of 13 Indian Mujahideen (IM) hard
core terrorist arrested involved in
serial bomb blast throughout the country, belonging to Darabhanga, Madhubani,
Purnia and Samastipur the NIA has named it as the Darabhanga module. The basic
trouble with this JD (U) Govt. is that
it is the same set of people who were part of the RJD regime which imposed
jungle raj in the state and was previously criticised by Nitish Kumar himself.
