Patna, March 07: Bihar Congress today flagged off the ‘Parivartan Rath Yatra’ aimed at dislodging the NDA government in the state claiming it had failed to fulfill its pre-poll promises made in 2005.
The yatra commenced from Congress headquarters at Sadaquat ashram and was flagged off by party’s state election officer Girish Kumar Sanghi and BPCC president Anil Kumar Sharma.
In its first phase, the ‘Parivartan Rath’ carrying Jagdish Tytler would visit remote villages of Jehanabad, Gaya, Aurangabad, Rohtas, Buxar, Bhojpur and Patna covering 32 assembly constituencies.
People had reposed faith in the Nitish Kumar government that he would change the face of Bihar, but the chief minister gave a free hand to the bureaucracy to loot the state exchequer in the name of development, Sharma alleged.
He said Congress would also bring to light a number of scams during the government’s regime.
