It's 2015 and I have not heard or read of any significant growth story for Bihar in the last more than a year. All I hear is about petty politicking. One party snaps (JD(U)) ties with another (BJP) and then takes the support of the very party (RJD) it fought against all this while. Not only that but RJD was also responsible for the state of affairs in Bihar during its rule of 15 years and still JD(U) aligns with it. And now, they are now talking of a merger...
And then a CM is propped up who is now doing everything in his power to remain the Bihar CM even after the next state elections and that too at the expense of the very person who made him the CM.
But all these political gimmicks has impacted the growth story of Bihar. Infact, for almost the last 3 years, there really hasn't been any development of sorts in Bihar. What are the people of Bihar going to do now... Even Nitish Kumar who looked like the torch bearer of development is Bihar has sidelined his focus onto political existance. Hardly does he realize that people loved him because he was bringing growth and if they see that he is not focusing on growth for Bihar at all, then the people of Bihar will not support him as they did before.
All these politicians just take the people for granted. Nitish, in his angst against Modi, did not see that people of Bihar voted for the BJP to see a BJP government in the center and would have voted for a JD(U) government for the state just because of Nitish's development in the first 6-7 years of his government. However, with the getting together of JD(U) and the RJD, Nitish has probably lost the chance he had to win the state assembly elections. Politicians have to realize that they cannot continue to take people for granted or expect them to vote based on past laurels.
Hence its time for Bihari politicians to come out of their politicking and focus on Bihar's development... This is what people of Bihar care for and this is what the people of Bihar want.
