In a recent political rally in Bihar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi pointed fingers at the opposition parties, RJD and Congress, for the state's lack of investment and development. However, this statement has raised eyebrows and sparked controversy, as it conveniently overlooks the two decades of National Democratic Alliance (NDA) rule in the state.
The Prime Minister's criticism of the opposition comes at a time when the NDA, led by his own Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has been in power in Bihar for an uninterrupted period since 2005. This lengthy tenure raises the question: Why blame the opposition when the NDA has had ample time to address these issues?
Adding to the intrigue, a 20-point report by NITI Aayog, the government's think tank, highlights the state's progress and challenges. The report, which covers the period from 2005 to 2025, provides a stark contrast to the Prime Minister's claims. It acknowledges the NDA's efforts in various sectors but also points out significant shortcomings, especially in attracting investment and creating a business-friendly environment.
The report suggests that the NDA's performance in Bihar has been a mixed bag. While there have been improvements in healthcare and education, the state continues to lag in industrial growth and employment generation. This discrepancy between the Prime Minister's rhetoric and the NITI Aayog's findings raises concerns about the government's transparency and accountability. As the election season approaches, Bihar's voters are left to ponder the true extent of the NDA's achievements and whether the blame game is a distraction from the real issues at hand.
