Resolving to make Bihar a "developed state" by 2015, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Wednesday said the NDA Government was committed to making life better for people living below the poverty line.
Speaking at a function organised by the All India Freedom Fighters' Association on the occasion of the 64th anniversary of the "Quit India Movement", Kumar said efforts were being made to make India "a developed nation" by 2020, 'but Bihar will be able to attain the status of a developed State five years ahead of it".
Regretting the Opposition allegation of non-development, he asked the leaders of Oppostion parties to go through tenders being advertised everyday in newspapers for development projects.
"We will start the development work on a war-footing after the rainy season," he asserted.
Saying that half of the population in the State lived below the poverty line, Kumar admitted that most of the villages still did not have metalled roads, electricity and sufficient drinking water. "We have taken up the challenge and we will get all these civic problems solved very soon," he claimed.
Asserting that there was a marked improvement in the law and order situation in Bihar, Chief Minister said, "The rule of law is visible in the state now."
The meeting adopted a resolution seeking to declare families of freedom fighters as 'family of nation' in recognition of their contribution to freedom.
