five Questions: If Bihar a backward state, there will have to be coverage, funding, says Rajiv Pratap Rudy
In Lok Sabha, BJP chief and previous Union Minister Rajiv Pratap Rudy flagged the ‘backwardness’ of Bihar and requested the federal government to spell out insurance policies to draw funding. He spoke to Liz Mathew
Why are you elevating the problem?
NITI Aayog has printed a file that claims Bihar is India’s poorest state. I stated the rustic can not develop with out creating Bihar’s 12 crore inhabitants.
What was once your call for?
The CM (Nitsh Kumar) has additionally approved that Bihar is a backward state, therefore we will have to be given backward standing. If Bihar wishes the standing of a backward state, there will have to be niti (coverage), nivesh (funding).
What sort of coverage do you wish to have?
A coverage for adolescence, infra, IT and greenfield airports, for ladies’s mortality, schooling, kid well being, and so forth. So I’m challenging that the state deliver a coverage paper on every of those after which come again to the Centre at the backwardness factor.
However you raised it in Parliament…
Sure… as it’s a NITI Aayog document which has positioned the state (on the backside).
In Lok Sabha, BJP and JD(U) individuals may now not agree on imposing central tasks?
Beneath Segment three of the Centre’s rural roads scheme, 6,000 km of roads were sanctioned. However Bihar has handiest given a suggestion for 1,300 km. The Centre was once announcing the proposals have now not come and we’re not able to sanction cash. Who’s to be blamed?
