PATNA, Sept. 9 -- Amidst devastating flood across Bihar and the JD(U) launching 'Nitish Samvad' across the state, RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav on Tuesday took to X to attack the Centre and the state government. "Lalu Yadav always fought from the street to the Parliament for the right of Bihar and got a package of Rs.1.44 lakh crore for state's development during 2004-09. I am reminded of my struggle a decade later when the state's coffers are empty and fiscal stress is at its peak," he posted. He demanded a permanent solution to the floods from Nepal, a fund for the maintenance of rivers and an increase in the credit-deposit ration (CDR) of Bihar. "No one has fought for the rights of Bihar and Biharis in opposition or in power as much as Lalu Yadav, right up to today. In Atal ji's cabinet, there were a dozen cabinet ministers from Bihar, but since my government was in the state, these inept, negative, communal BJP folks never gave Bihar its share of the budget, gave nothing, and didn't allow it to be given. They even stalled the 5-Year Plans to ensure Bihar didn't get any money. Back then, the state couldn't even take direct loans," he added. Prasad said he had all along strived for a permanent solution to the floods coming from Nepal. "With NDA-3 in Delhi and NDA-5 in Bihar, these incompetent, inept, and novice folks never tire of making excuses," he said, calling for the need of straightforward talk with the Nepal government on river maintenance. Meanwhile, deputy CM Vijay Choudhary, a senior JD(U) leader, accused Yadav and the then central government for ignoring Bihar's interests during the signing of the Farakka water treaty in 1996 between India and Bangladesh. The chief minister said, "In 1996, RJD Lalu Prasad was in power in Bihar while there was a United Front government at the Centre. Both the governments ignored Bihar's interests in the treaty. Now, those who were silent are also now speaking against the treaty....
