Dear
Nitish ji
You are doing fine, but still I have some points
to make.
You had promised a little too much in post
election period and you are continuing with that
still. The public takes it only what they see on
ground. Bihar’s abduction industry is the only
that is making news. However, everyone while
expressing hopes for new investment is keeping a
big IF with it.
As per a report, N Saravana Kumar, joint
secretary, department of agriculture, Bihar, has
been reported as saying, “The state government
had identified areas like Muzaffarpur,
Samastipur, Vaishali, Darbhanga, Patna, Nalanda,
Gaya, Jehanabad and others where food processing
units could be set up for localised and
specialised processing of fruits like lichee,
mango, gorgon nuts and crops like maize, rice
and potatoes. The new government is looking into
the poor infrastructure, power and law and order
situation of the state to make it more viable
for private investors.”
Suggestion for calling in some reputed police
officers, such as Kiran Bedi or someone like KPS
Gill from outside the state didn’t find favour
with your government. You must be a believer in
your own available talents. But many feel that
with years of their working in Bihar the police
bureaucracy in the state have their ideas fixed
and frozen. As you might have forgotten all your
engineering, they have certainly forgotten the
lessons about the ways to bring in law and order
in last 15 years. They can’t come out with real
innovative ideas to solve and prevent the
serious issue such as abduction as industry or
mafia and rangdari raj. They can’t be ruthless
to the extent required, as the persons
responsible for these abductions and their
godfathers influence them because of the past
acquaintances. Without that, one can’t think of
any aggressive investment coming to the state.
I have one suggestion. Why don’t you ask your
police chief and his assistants to make a
commitment about the eradication of the
abduction as a problem from the state and the
time they will take to bring back the law and
order at par with other states? Let them call a
press conference in view of national public and
private news channels and say, “Now as we are
free to take any action with no political
interference even from CMO and his colleagues.
We shall bring law and order in control in so
many months or get out.”
Dear Nitish ji, for some time you drop your
cloak of politicians and be an effective CEO for
next 5 years to bring back the glory of Bihar.
It is possible, as a whole lot of people are
ready to help you. But all the actions are to
originate from your ends.

Your
one suggestion is by far the best
I've read in quite a while. Why
allow civil servants to lurk in the
background while politicians take
all the flak? Getting these
bureaucrats to make televised
addresses declaring their intent and
plan of action is a great idea. If
for example the DGP puts a
reasonable time limit on solving
certain law and order issues and
vows that he and his top officers
will make way for others if
unsuccessful then he puts his future
on the line. When the top gun's
interests are at stake, 'heaven and
earth' will be moved to ensure that
promises are kept. Extend this
public declaration to the
secretaries of all government
departments and then let us see how
well oiled they are.
Well done Indraji. You deserve a
Padma Shri for that. - Dr

Indra Ji, you are absolutely right
that Nitish Kumar should behave like
a CEO and implement the rule of
Deadline to Govt. officials and even
to its Ministers. They will be
liable to be laid off in case they
failed to meet the deadline. Bihar
needs strict and honest measures to
come out of current curses. In case
of political interference, the
police need to put that politician
behind the Bar. The police should be
trained in Martial Art to deal with
criminals valiantly. This way Police
can beat the criminals severely
without killing them and thus can
avoid the interference of various
Human Rights agencies, whose role is
more like a Break than constructive.

Indra Ji, thank you for continuing
to write thoughtful articles in PD.
We need the wise outlook of senior
citizens in this forum. It's nice to
read articles from someone who has
been there and has seen it all and
is in a position to look back from a
mature outlook. - Som Vishwakarma,

Indra Ji, I read your
thought-provoking write-up with
interest. Appreciating but it
doesn’t fetch us to any practical
solution in the bellowed
socio-economic condition of the
State. The bitter irony is that the
abductors are human-beings too and
they need employment. They have
their own feelings and high
expectations. And no human being is
a born criminal. The people around
are equally responsible. Nitish Ji
is a native of Bihar and is now
holding the steering wheel of the
home land. He is hard-working and
optimistic. People have reposed
faith in him; of course with all
best wishes. Rome was not built in a
day. The repairing work will
certainly take time. And let’s not
forget that Nitish Ji has been
adjudged the No. ONE State Chief
Minister in the country. So, he has
to work as a politician also. -
