Patna: To counter the Prime Minister's Rs 1.25 lakh crore special package for Bihar, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Friday unveiled a Rs 2.70 lakh crore development plan in the next five years that would include free electricity and drinking water connection in every household.

Taking a jibe at the PM's special package, Kumar told a press conference in Patna, "Unlike the much hyped package which is nothing but repackaging of old schemes, my (Rs 2.70 lakh crore) vision comprises programmes which are doable and I have worked out mobilisation of resources for it."

"Its my 'dil ki baat' and not 'maan ki baat'," Kumar said.

The 7-point development plan was in addition to the ongoing schemes in different sectors, Kumar said in Patna as he was flanked by state Finance Minister Bijendra Yadav and senior minister Vijay Chaudhary.

Faced with a flurry of questions if it was the manifesto of JD(U) or secular alliance comprising JD(U), RJD and Congress, Kumar answered in negative and said, "it's my commitment towards the people and I know they have faith in me that I do what I say."

The CM said youths in the age group of 20-25 would get Rs 1,000 monthly allowance twice for a period of nine months each to meet expenses during search for jobs.

Every youth who has passed class XII would get a student credit card with the help of which a loan of Rs 4 lakh from any bank could be availed. The state government would provide 3 percent interest subvention on the loan taken from this credit card, Kumar said.

The state government would establish a Rs 500 crore Venture capital fund from which young enterpreuners would get start up capital to set up manufacturing units, he said.

The CM promised to provide free wifi facility in all colleges and universities in the state.

He further said Registration and Modern employment consultancy centres would be opened in all 38 districts to provide basic computer education, language training and skill development to 1.5 crore youths in the state.

The plans for youths would cost about Rs 49,800 crore in next five years, he said, adding, "he has in mind from where to mobilise the resources."

"Through increased availability of electricity the dream to illuminate every house in the state with 24 hour electricity would be realised," Kumar said.

The future power projects would cost Rs 55,600 crore in five years which would be arranged, he said.

All the villages and habitations would be connected with all weather roads further from the point where Prime Minister Gram Sadak Yojna stops, Kumar said.

Kumar said the state government would build toilet in every household which does not have it. An estimated 1.72 crore toilets would be constructed in rural areas and 7.52 lakh in urban areas for all categories of population as part of the exercise at a cost of Rs 28,700 crore.

In addition to this, 5 new medical colleges would be established in Bihar. Besides, there would be an Engineering college, women ITI and para-medical institutions in every district, he added.

The special package of Rs 1.25 lakh crore announced by the PM at Arrah on 18 August and also additional Rs 40,000 crore residual money out of previous packages to Bihar has triggered hectic politicking in the poll-bound state.

While, BJP and its NDA allies are not leaving any stone unturned to cash on it, Kumar, RJD and Congress have trashed the sop.
