Nitish Brought Good Government, Removed Jungle Raj: Modi

Deccan Chronicle  

New Delhi/Patra: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday lauded Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar for his role in transforming the state, pulling it out of what he called “jungle raj”. The Prime Minister referred to Mr Nitish Kumar, whose JD played a crucial role in enabling the NDA’s return to power at the Centre earlier this year, as “lokpriya mukhyamantri”. Now, under the NDA's double engine government, the state is making rapid, all-round progress.” He also attacked earlier governments in the state, ruled by the Congress-RJD combine for 15 years before the NDA assumed power in 2005, for hoodwinking the people with “false promises”. The PM also touched upon the problem of floods that ravage the Kosi-Mithila region every year, saying his government was making “honest” efforts to solve the problem by holding necessary discussions with Nepal, besides drawing a detailed plan involving Rs.11,000 crores to tackle the calamity.
