In a wide-ranging critique, JD(U)’s Neeraj Kumar positioned Bihar’s budget as the cornerstone of rural renaissance under Nitish Kumar. From crumbling paths to cutting-edge schools, the allocations are rewriting village narratives across the state.
Kumar described the fiscal plan as a blueprint for developed Bihar, pouring funds into basics like water, power, and transport while elevating education. ‘Villages that once languished now pulse with progress,’ he told reporters, citing tangible gains in daily life.
On hostel rules for girls, he contextualized Bihar’s history: post-freedom, vast areas had zero higher education access. New measures promise secure hostels, digital tools, and mobility, empowering the next generation of women leaders.
Countering Mamata’s SIR doubts, Kumar invoked EC’s independence. ‘It’s done before without fuss; critics ignore their BLO lapses,’ he pointed out.
Gandhi’s parliamentary slur on Bittu prompted strong rebuke. ‘Constitution and conventions forbid such abuse from an opposition leader,’ Kumar stated, probing the ‘traitor’ label’s basis.
Supporting Puri against Gandhi, Kumar defended Sikh legacy. ‘Freedom struggle heroes deserve dignity; the Regiment symbolizes valor—Gandhi should apologize if sentiments are bruised.’
Doval’s comments, per Kumar, project India’s backbone. ‘We stand firm, wielding diplomatic heft.’ Ultimately, this budget heralds Bihar’s ascent, blending local triumphs with national firmness.
