Former bureaucrat questions Bihar CM's development claims

"The present bureaucracy in Bihar is the most corrupt one in the history of the state....How come the chief minister make tall claims about a government run by these corrupt bureaucrats?" former principal secretary (parliamentary affairs) Pancham Lal said at a function here.

He also criticised industrialists and bankers for their praising the state government over development in Bihar.

Lal accused Kumar of "illegally dividing" the Dalit community by carving out 'Mahadalit' people from them for "electoral benefits."

"Dalits have been the worst victim of the might of the state during the NDA rule and the people from downtrodden sections have been killed by the police in fake encounters or by painting them as the Maoists," he alleged.

 

He further alleged that police stations have been turned into "torture centres to commit atrocities against poor".
