Some years ago, a senior expert and commentator on Bihar issues told me that Bihar had been mostly neglected due to different formations ruling in Delhi and the State, consequently hindering its ability to extract benefits. I disagreed. Had two reasons: one, Bihar politicians lack sub-nationalist feeling... so don't... ask for much, and two, it doesn't matter who's ruling, Delhi is going to bulldoze our legitimate needs... I'll cite a recent case... While Tribhuvan Sahkari University in Gujarat received immediate legislative approval from the Lok Sabha recently, PM Modi, in 2017, openly turned down CM Nitish Kumar's plea to designate Patna University, once known as the Oxford of the East, as a Central university. Personally, I took that as an insult. The 'double-engine' model deliver for other states... but not for Bihar. Is it because we are seen as emotional fools.. easily polarised by caste and religion?show more

Unless this man retires, Bihar is doomed. State needs a fresh breeze.

8 news Central Educational Institutes established in Gujarat since 2014. Bihar me UPA ke pendings bhi aaj tak pending hi hai.

I support your point. Punjab always has opposition govt. But a lot depends on people incharge, proactive judiciary. Max growyh in Punjab in recent years came dueing 2007-14 with @Akali_Dal_ in state & UPA at centre. Post this period, Capt Amrinder Singh & incumbent maintain good

While I agree with your point but Patna University could have been revitalised by state govt too. Single biggest reason why universities in Bihar are at this position is the diluted accountability. Governor's executive powers as chancellor or state universities should be snatched

The main reason is a lack of Bihar pride. They ignore our legitimate demands. I don’t understand how private players will invest in Bihar without SEZ and PSU companies.

The Engine in “Double Engine” is for other states not for Bihar. Only the coaches are for Bihar. To ferry labourers from source to destination.

Gujarat doesn't have any sub nationalism. Haryana doesn't have any sub nationalism. Himachal doesn't have any sub nationalism. MP doesn't have any sub nationalism. All are doing way better than bihar. What are you talking about?
