Bihar CM Nitish Kumar on Tuesday termed the "special" central assistance worth Rs 1.25 lakh crore as a bundle of "repackaged old projects" meant to mislead the people of poll-bound Bihar. The package announcement made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is silent on the budgetary provision or time frame for completion of the projects, he pointed out.
Nitish challenged the PM to declare the monetary allocations for similar projects in other states so that one gets to know what exactly is special about the package for Bihar. "Will routine work not be done in Bihar? Will the central government do everything in form of packages?" Nitish questioned and enumerated several old projects such as IIM at Bodh Gaya, power plant at Banka and construction of gas pipelines which have been included in the package. more
