lJP president and Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan with his son and MP  Chirag Paswan and brothers Ram Chandra Paswan and Pashupati Kumar Paras called on Chief Minister Nitish Kumar with bouquets and assured that Centre would fully take care of Bihar and fulfil its demands for the speedy development of the State.

Union Minister for Food and Civil Supplies Paswan said that wheel of development came to a standstill for about two years in Bihar and now it was the responsibility of the CM and NDA Government to accelerate the pace of development in which Centre would fully help it. “The development work will accelerate 10 times under the new NDA Government,” he said.

Paswan urged the CM to strictly restore law and order situation and devote full time for the welfare of the State and its people particularly dalits, backwards, minorities and weaker sections.

He expressed concern over the rampaging RJD workers who indulged in violence at many places and even attacked DM of Saran.

Earlier talking to the media Paswan, who turned bitter critic of RJD chief lalu Prasad after remaining in his company, said that he had predicted when the Mahagathbandhan Government came into existence that it would not last for two years. At that time, he recalled, many had made fun of him and lalu had called him “mausam vaigyanik” (meteorologist) but he proved right and that Government fell in only 20 months.

The lJP chief hailed Nitish Kumar for his bold step and master stroke in resigning and severing ties with lalu on the ground of morality and zero tolerance policy on corruption. Now Nitish has got back natural allies, he added.
