Patna: BJP Lawmaker MJ Akbar today hit out at Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for mocking the Rs 1.25 lakh crore central package for the state asking him to explain as to why the earlier schemes were not implemented by the previous UPA government.
"Nitish Kumar has described the Prime Minister's Rs 1.25 lakh crore package for Bihar as 'repackaging of old schemes' ... instead of questioning (Narendra) Modi, Kumar should explain as to why old package was allowed to stay old and not implemented," he told reporters.
"Were the people of Bihar not entitled to infrastructure development during the previous UPA government?" Mr Akbar asked and stated that the so-called old package never saw the light of the day.
Trashing the chief minister's denouncement of the Bihar package and Mr Akbar said Mr Kumar has lost control over his thought and voice and has become nervous about the outcome of the forthcoming Assembly polls.
The grand alliance was a non-starter to begin with as its constituents - RJD, JD(U) and SP - had tried hard for merger which did not take place in the first place forcing these parties to go for alliance which too had fallen apart, Mr Akbar, a veteran journalist, said.
