Nitish has been plundering Bihar for past 18 years: Samrat Choudhary

Launching a blistering attack on Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, State BJP president Samrat Choudhary on May 20 said he (Mr. Kumar) has been plundering Bihar for the past 18 years. Mr. Choudhary also mocked at the Nitish government’s ambitious prohibition policy and said it was Mr. Kumar who was responsible for opening liquor shops in every panchayat, and delivering liquor to every doorstep, but “now he has prohibited liquor in the State”.

“Nitish Kumar has been plundering Bihar for the past 18 years. Earlier, their alliance partner Rashtriya Janata Dal [RJD] had looted the State for 15 years”, charged Mr. Choudhary while addressing the party’s State working committee meeting at Kisan Bhawan in Patna.

Mr. Choudhary also said, “Nitish Kumar has brought the State’s economic condition to such a phase where, if there was not a Narendra Modi government [at the Centre], even paying salaries to State government employees would be difficult.”
