I believe Bihar had a fair share of politics of welfarism and empowerment. Inauguration of Laloo Prasad Yadav’s tenure saw Bihar taking a step towards social justice and empowerment with an aim to reach out to the deprived and distressed sections of the population in the state.
Keeping the reservations for the weaker sections of the social strata intact being the sharpest strategies of the RJD Chief Laloo Prasad Yadav.
As for Nitish welfarism is what it took in building his face and base as a political leader and people’s representative. But, why still we find Bihar far lagging behind in various social and economic indices and parameters. Healthcare, Livelihood, Education, Employment etc forcing many to undertake migration. On top floods have become a recurring reality in the state vastly impacting many lives, resources and livelihoods. As for Kosi and Gandak rivers referred to as a symbol of grief and misery. Still, Bihar Government under Nitish Kumar bas hardly taken lesson from it. Passing the buck and blame to Laloo Prasad Yadav for anything has become Nitish babu,s favourite companion. Latter slightly refusing to come out of his bubble fearing for the erosion of his legitimacy. Anyways, this tenure is going to be last as Nitish might eye for an berth in the NDA at the centre. But whosoever takes charge after November 10th will have to deal with fixing and repairing the mess surrounding and confronting our state. Why don’t political parties come up with a blue print aimed at assisting and accommodating innovations and investments in health care, education and employment. Their is no harm in balancing caste equations and arithmetics around elections but that’s not going to grant us with any redressal. Thus, solution lies in fostering Innovations in investments for safeguarding and securing the fate and faith of us the Biharis
I hope the message is clearly reaching out to each and every one.
