PM Modi's special package for Bihar an attempt to tell a fairy tale : Nitish Kumar
"The much hyped package is nothing but an audacious and brazen effort to narrate a fairy tale to the people of Bihar," he tweeted on Wednesday.
"I’ll be taking questions for the next 48 hours debunking the so-called “special” Bihar package," Nitish Kumar, the main foe of Narendra Modi's BJP in the upcoming state election, said.
The massive package would not translate to anything more than around Rs. 10,000 crores extra, he said.
He said projects worth nearly one lakh crore were a repackaging and appropriation of old schemes and for some new items worth Rs. 6000 crore in the package, there was "not even a shred of evidence" of planning or work on the ground. Besides, there is no time frame, Nitish Kumar added.
