MAKING OF A THINKER
Today, the morning TV news made Nitish Kumar, chief minister of Bihar the headline.Nitish has been rated among 100 thinkers of the world for his plans of growth and development in Bihar.This news whereas brought a note of cheers among JDU workers, party men and supporters of Nitish, it was quite disturbing for the opponent camp.Naturally it brought sharp reactions from them.I am neither supporter of Nitish nor admirer.My recent visit to this state after a gap of many years made me to feel that Bihar has progressed not only in infrastructural field but there are perceptible changes in every field of activity since Nitish assumed office.Better roads,improved electricity,better law and order in the state are visible,Education which was ruined in Lalu-Rabri regime has registered perceptible changes and improvement.College and university teachers who were earlier burdened with irregular payment,students who were victims of unfair means in examinations, irregular and late academic sessions feel today relieved.These lapses have been restored to a great extent.The kidnapping industry which flourished in earlier regime has been put to an end.There are radical changes in the meaning and methods of governance.What seemed to be a state of anarchy, apparent loss of law and order previously now seem to have been working.Nitish restructured the administrative machinery by fixing the accountability of the concerned officials for their lapses and negligence.This proved to be effective in restoring the rule of law,justice and harmony.Being a coalition partner of BJP in Government, he categorically denied the hard line action and ideology of their leaders to keep the Muslims in good humour and faith.He could strongly say 'no' to Modi's election campaign in Bihar.This speaks of his moral integrity and character.He strongly vouched for special status of Bihar, Biharis in Assam and Mumbai nonchalantly.This shows his concern and commitment to the cause of Bihar.In totality ,these are vignettes of a visionary, who believed that it is necessary for the people of any state or province to have confidence in themselves first, in system ,secondly to write a chapter of resurgence and growth.Undoubtedly ,Nitish did it without any far and prejudice.He established in Bihar the cult of efficiency,efficacy and result oriented governance.He had moral integrity to say after the first election, 'If we don't deliver result, we won't come to you for vote''. And he kept his promise and people endorsed it.It is evident in high economic growth rate of Bihar in the recent years.It is not possible for any one to clean the Augean stable in a few years but he has set in the process of growth , governance and development.He has prepared the road maps of brighter and better Bihar. He employed the ancient glory and myths to weave a prelude to socially,politically,economically stronger Bihar.These exercises never remained a rhetoric for political capital for Nitish but earnest motivational vibes for him.What opponents and detractors of Nitish see as hollow claim of some American magazine is in fact, a clarion call of future evolving,emerging Bihar.These were making of a political thinker of growth and development called Nitish Kumar.
