Patna, April 13: LJP President Ram Vilas Paswan today slammed Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for his statement that the state lacked resources to implement the Right to Education Act.
“Kumar’s statement that Bihar lacks resources to implement the Act is misleading….when a backward state like Orissa and states in northern India have come forward to implement it, Bihar should also follow the suit,” Paswan told reporters.
He said Kumar made “big claims” about the state’s growth and now he should not talk about financial crunch in implementing the Act.
“Without attaining total literacy, the development of the state will not be possible,” he said, adding the Act should be implemented to ensure rapid growth of Bihar.
