who work in a barber shop. The common connection between them was that
they all belonged to different villages in Darbhanga district.
I asked one of the guys as to who he thought would win the election
this time, Lallu , Paswan or Nitish. Two of them emphatically replied
"Nitish" at the same instance.
They had visited / come from their villages in the last 3 months and
were pretty impressed by the changes they found in their villages
1. Primary health care centers were functioning in their villages.
Earlier for any problem they had to travel to Darbhanga main city.
2. Roads: offcourse they spoke about the roads, the four laning of
the natonal highway and the good quality of roads that won't get
washed away in heavy rains.
3. Schools: that are functioning regularly now.
4. Government's scheme of making a fixed deposit of Rs. 7000 for
every girl child born and Rs. 1800 cash given for every boy child born
went particularly well for them.
5. Women are now being recruited into the police force which also
impressed them.
Thus these younsters were very certain that whatever tricks Lallu and
Paswan played, it is Nitish who will win.
I hope that the same sentiments are shared by other villages also and
they vote for Bihar's well being and growth.
