BJP Lodges Police Complaint Over Abuses Hurled At PM Modi During Bihar Yatra - Amit Shah tweets in response

[Trichromatic]

Poorest region of Pakistan was KP with per capita GDP of 1000 and that time Bihar has per capita GDP of 800. 

 

Sure south India had policy and geographical advantages, but being so low in development which is at par with some of the poorest countries of Africa can't be attributed just to politicians, it's people who are equally to be blamed for that.

BTW many southern state got head start compared to other northern state because of continuous war time threat on bordering state with hostile countries. During 90s when our economy was open for global market. Bihar was ruled by maha chutiya Lalu Yadav where due to MY equation who are the largest population in bihar got youth involved in kidnapping, rangdaari and othee bad stuff. When smkrishna was bringing IT firms in karnatak , Bihar main rozgaar was kidnapping and rangdaari, many of my school friends whose parents were from business class marwari closed their business and ran aaay to surat. Muzaffarpur had biggest lahathi market most of them closed their business or ran away. Politician like lalu, rabri was completely responsible for bad state of bihar rather than creating good employment they made mafias and gundas from youths.

Few more on top of it

Maitreya project -Kushinagar

 

The foundation of the Agra Inner Ring Road was laid by Akhilesh Yadav in 2014 too.

 

I have seen BJP supporters praise him for Infrastructure push post the dark years of Mayawati.

Some of it was unheard of in UP.

Western UP main kaafi contribution hai

Problem is Akhilesh little bit of infra improvement is overshadowed by law and order which he recieved in legacy from his father and maintained even exceeded during his tenures. These yadavs clan who ruled bihar or Up should never comeback because of their dark past. They failed on every metrix possible by doing cast and gundagardi politics. Worst thing happened for bihar and up is SP and rjd. So no need to justify by throwing some random infra project.

It doesn't help that the mineral rich part of the state was snatched away. The reason why Jharkhand and Odisha are now gaining pace. While Bihar simply has nothing to offer.
Jharkhand has huge Thorium reserves, the moment we gain the ability to enrich those for our nuclear needs. Jharkhand's economy will grow at a much higher pace. 

First the Zamindari rule, then the freight equalization, then Lalu raj followed by partition of the state. Bihar simply has no option but to depend on center, it has no advantage left now.

Akhilesh launched most of the project in last 2-3 years of his tenure. Post Muzaffarnagar riots and BJP's overwhelming support in UP, Akhilesh saw this as a last resort.

But anyway, UP's problem wasn't the lack of development, it was the lack of law and order. It wasn't as bad as Bihar, but the absence of law and order always pushed the developments and investment in UP at the backseat. Mulayam isn't known for his scams, he is known for the state sponsored murder of RSS workers, Guest House kand, murder of Bramhdutt Dwivedi, Krishnanand Rai and providing state support to Mukhtar Ansari, Ateeq Ahmed, Imran Masood, Azam Khan, DP Yadav etc.

Once Yogi corrected the law and order, the investment gained pace.

Before Lalu, it was JP’s samajwaad that gave rise to leaders like Lalu etc that spoilt the industrial Bihar. Till the 70s,  it was top3 GSP states in India, the combined Bihar that it with Jamshedpur Tatanagar were an industrial hub and a mining hub. Samajwaad was necessary , but all other states gave up , Bihar still holds on to it because of Lalu Yadavs 15 year reign that turned it into a jungle Raj North Bihar was purposely kept underdeveloped compared to South Bihar.

Coz the time when states were developing themselves post liberalization, Bihar was shutting down it's industries due to Lalu Raj.
Dalmiya Nagar is one which is on top of my head.
Several small scale public sector units (textiles, sugar mills, agro based industries) either shut down or became non-functional due to poor governance, extortion, and lack of electricity and transport infrastructure.

Many Marwari, Bengali, and business families relocated to other states like West Bengal and Delhi due to deteriorating law and order and lack of infrastructure investment. A massive amount of working population left Bihar never to return back.

By the time Lalu raj ended, Bihar became a kid who was barely surviving by eating the scrap off the streets. No school, no college, no universities...everything was gone.

People don't know what Lalu raj was, kidnapping was the most booming business in Bihar. Such was the sorry state of affairs.

Many people will disagree with me, but I consider JP movement as one incident which singlehandedly sabotaged the future of the North indian states during 1980-2000.
Likes of Nitish, RamVilas paswan, Mulayam, Lalu all rose under his movement against Indira...and all of them were heavily inspired by left ideology which was against development and was inspired by keeping power in control.
Had JP not done that, probably both UP and Bihar would have escaped the wrath of these politicians.

I have been to Bihar as recently as 2024, it is as poor as NK.  50 years of socialism combined with naxalism , with no private investment is what has made it poor. Nobody is denying that it is not poor, but they don’t deserve to be abused is the topic in question. Most of public investment was done in the south after independence.

And that’s why I said it’s not just politicians but Biharis are equally to be blamed for this situation.

 

My early memories of north Bihar villages in 90s - lowest castes (dom and others) were not allowed to enter main village, they used stay outside periphery of village with no possibility of access to education or anything. They had only one option of survival - remains from funeral. Villages were structured in a way that main residential area was at centre surrounded by vast agricultural fields and then outside that again river and residences of lowest castes.

 

Huge social divide which continued even till early 2010s. 
 

Later kids of those groups started studying in primary schools.

 

Caste remains a big social factor till date in 2025.

It's not their fault, it's the fault of our ecosystem, which kept on dividing us through lens of caste, religion, language etc.
India kept the industries in South to avoid the Pakistan/China factor in North...which we all know was pretty rampant till 1970. The thought was that South will stay away from the battlefield and will help in growing the India economically, it also helped that South has a large coastline.

But, somehow it lead to a stage where a UPwala or a Bihari or a Rajasthani became an outsider in his own country and were termed as BIMARU.

Both go hand in hand... Infrastructure is needed for overall development & investment only comes if there is infrastructure otherwise state would remain in a perpetual black hole of gundagardi and lawlessness.

Without infrastructure investment push Yogi bhi kuch nahi kar paata.  He would have to start from scratch and would have found near impossible to deal with law and order in chaos.

Even today major defense related industries are set up in the South for that reason alone.

 

People forget that South always had it easy.  Sure they built their progress on their hard work as well but geography played a major part too.

I think that was the problem in many states, not exclusive of Bihar.

The main reason for lack of education in Bihar itself was lack of schools. In between 8-10 villages (of around 1000 population each approx) there will be one school till xth while 2-3 schools till Vth. Then, the electricity, road and kidnapping issues, people were afraid to send their kids too far away coz there was always a fear of their abduction.

When the society has lack of resources, no law will work. People will resort to force to gain maximum share, so whoever had the power gained upper hand.

Communists, aligned with the lower caste groups and they did a lot of "unsociable activities" with UC's in Bihar right from the time of Karpuri Thakur. To combat them, Ranvir sena was formed which massacred villages of Dalits multiple times. Several gangsters like "Shahabuddin", "Munna Shukla", "Surajbhan Singh", "Pappu Yadav", "Dadan Yadav" etc rose to the power and use their "baahubali" image to gain maximum share. It's natural that animosity will happen then between castes.

You guys might have heard the case of "Shilpi Jain - gautam Singh" rape and murder case or even the gang rape case of Mrs. BB Biswas. I can tell you that it isn't even 1% of what happened in Bihar. Now it's 1000 times better than what it used to be then.
