Delhi Can't Run Without Bihar: Nitish Kumar

On the occasion, he also honoured 20 people from the state for their commendable job in various fields that included SEBI Chairman U K Sinha, former Foreign Secretary Shyam Saran, former cricketer Saba Karim and actor Manoj Tiwari.

In an apparent dig at the 15-year rule of RJD government in Bihar, he said people of the state earlier used to hide their identity as they were looked down upon because of lawlessness and poor economic growth in the state.

But with the resurgence of the state, he said, its people living outside seem proud to call themselves Bihari now.

He said Bihar is on the path of development, and earnest efforts are on to usher in a second green revolution in the state.

“The second green revolution in Bihar will not be a photocopy of green revolution in Punjab in 70s but it will have its own model,” he said.

Britishers separated Bihar from Bengal on March 22, 1912.

The completion of 100 year of existence is being celebrated in the name of Bihar Shatabadi celebration Utsav.

Convener of the Utsav, Sanjay Jha, who is also a BJP MLC said the NDA government is making efforts to connect people in different parts of the country to address their problems.
