PATNA: Leader of opposition in state assembly Tejashwi Prasad Yadav on Saturday accused the state government of meting out step-motherly treatment to the people living in areas represented in assembly by members of opposition parties.
He also uploaded flood-related questions to his Twitter handle and claimed these issues were raised even during the budget session of the state assembly.
“In the assembly, I had asked many questions related to erosion and floods.
However, except false assurances, the Nitish government did not take any concrete step,” Tejashwi tweeted on Saturday, a day after visiting Raghopur, his assembly constituency.
Even at Raghopur, the younger Yadav scion lashed at the government for not initiating any development work in the area.
“This is Laluji’s area and Tejashwi is winning from here.
The government is intentionally not carrying out any developmental work,” Tejahswi said.
He alleged the government was not releasing money for development works in Raghopur.
Meanwhile, the ruling JD(U) has rubbished the allegations levelled by Tejashwi and reminded him of problems people had faced due to floods and erosion during Lalu-Rabri regime.
“During his parents’ time, lakhs of people used to get displaced and nothing was done to stop erosion.
In fact, gone are the days when the entire village used to get swallowed,” JD(U) state spokesperson Arvind Nishad said, adding the water resources department was working with promptness in the entire state.
