Bihar CM Nitish Kumar's point-by-point rejoinder to PM Modi's speech in his territory. Highlights.
--On one hand PM Modi calls me a beggar and on the other he calls me arrogant. For Bihar's development, Bihar's progress, I have no qualms in being a beggar.
-- He is the Prime Minister of the country. He talks of cooperative federalism. But works for something else. He humiliates the state government. Tries to prove them incompetent. But his saying doesn't change anything.
-- Health, education, roads everything has been improved. We have created 66,000 roads, 5,000 bridges/flyovers. The government health system is dependable. Most people can rely on it. Average people visiting primary health centres monthly has gone up from 49 people to 11,000.
-- The PM says if the state is not BIMARU, then why are you asking for help? All the other states which have been given a special status for development, given funds are BIMARU?
-- Instead of encouraging a state that is progressing, you are humiliating it?
We are fighting for the rights of Bihar.
