Is there something about the air in Bihar? Is it forever doomed to be ignored by its rulers? Rediff writes about Nitish Kumar:
Vowing to change “the worst ever work culture due to Rashtriya Janata Dal’s misgovernance for past 15 years”, he told reporters that he would have a one-to-one meeting with senior bureaucrats, including secretaries of all departments and officers of the rank of inspector general and above to improve the situation.
The Indian Express writes about the professional efforts of his cabinet to establish a good work culture:
Cabinet minister Baidyanath Mahto’s men went and ‘‘booked’’ a sprawling bungalow on Bailey Road, occupied for 15 years by RJD’s former minister Iliyaas Hussain. Using a red chalk, they wrote ‘‘Baidyanath Mahto, Cabinet minister’’ alongside Hussain’s nameplate. It was to pre-empt other leaders from taking the house. But later, another Cabinet minister Monazir Hassan, who has been given charge of the building construction department, was allotted the same bungalow. Mahto had no option but to withdraw his claim.
I remember being as childish – booking the school bus window seat just behind the driver in Std I. Good luck, Bihar.

I vote we give Bihar autonomy and leave them to their devices.
ya, right AC. While we are at it, we might as well give them a couple of nukes. :P
There was so much hype over Nitish Kumar taking over as CM. It looks like he will not live up to it. :)
Gosh, it really is nasty in Bihar; Dad has to visit Bihar often and the horror stories he brings back are almost incredible. And traces of the Bihar work culture (or the lack thereof) still remain in Ranchi, this sheer inertia that keeps it from moving forward.
The problem is poverty. The problem is lack of awareness. The problem is the caste system. The problem is supression. The problem is people outside Bihar looking at it as an infected part of India… which they would rather cut off and throw, than give time to heal.
Cheers. Lets get rid of the state.
