“He is a helpless, weak and incompetent Chief Minister. He lacks authority and cannot stop the increasing crime, corruption and migration. There is administrative anarchy in the state. Not a single employee or officer listens to the Chief Minister,” the LoP said.
The Leader of Opposition's attack against the Chief Minister came after Nitish Kumar offered to touch the feet of an engineer of the JP Ganga Pathway project in Patna.
The Chief Minister inaugurated the third phase of JP Ganga Pathway and during the program he expressed displeasure over the delay in completion of the project and offered to hold the feet of the officials to complete the work expeditiously.
When he moved towards an engineer to hold his feet, officials including Additional Chief Secretary of the Road Construction Department, Pratyaya Amrit, stopped him.
This is not the first time that Nitish Kumar has made such a gesture. In one of the previous events, he had folded his hands in front of an IAS officer to speed up the work.
The newly inaugurated phase of JP Ganga Pathway allows passengers to cover a distance of 17 km from Digha to Patna Ghat.
The first phase of JP Ganga Path, from Digha to Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH), became operational on June 24, 2022. The second phase, from PMCH to Gaighat, opened to passengers on August 14, 2023. The total length of the route from Digha to Didarganj is 20.5 km, pillar installation and section fitting work is going on on the remaining 3.5 km.
The Chief Minister has directed the construction company to complete the remaining project up to Didarganj by next year.
