"Biharis have achieved, but Bihar is lagging behind," said Lok Sabha MP Chirag Paswan as he pinned the blame on CM Nitish Kumar in an interview with Brut.

00:00In big media houses, there are Bihari CEOs, CFOs, and HODs.
00:07They are raped, looted, abducted, and raped by small girls and thrown into the river.
00:14We see that the biggest labour force in Bihar is outside the area.
00:22What is the reason for this and how can this be set right?
00:25This can be set right only if you have a vision for my state.
00:29The problem with my state has been that there has been no policy or vision for Bihar.
00:35Even today, if you ask my Chief Minister and why I mention him in every question and answer,
00:41it is because he has been the Chief Minister of my state for the past 18 years.
00:45And 18 years is a very long time.
00:49If you want, you can take my state to many places.
00:53But in these 18 years, what was my Chief Minister's vision for Bihar?
00:57Can you name 5 things that he did for Bihar?
01:02When he came to Bihar in 2005, he said that his dream was to bring back the people who had fled from Bihar to his state.
01:10What will the Chief Minister, who could not fulfil his dream in 18 years, do for the Bihari people?
01:16This is definitely a question that arises.
01:19It is a shame to say this, but we have only remained labour manufacturers.
01:25In every corner of the country, in every corner of the foreign countries, Biharis go there and work as labourers.
01:31Also, when there is another beautiful part of our state.
01:36Correct me if I am wrong, but in all the big media houses, there are Biharis on big posts.
01:43In business houses, there are CEOs and CFOs.
01:46In big hospitals, there are HODs.
01:51Needless to say, there are ISIPS officers.
01:55When Bihari has come so far, how did Bihar leave so far behind?
01:58My Chief Minister blames my Bhugol state for not having an industry.
02:04There is no problem in Bhugol, Chief Minister.
02:07It is your intention that is at fault.
02:09You don't want an industry there.
02:11Even today, my children go to Kota to study.
02:13Consider the situation in Kota as an example.
02:15There is a Bihari who studies there.
02:17There is a Bihari who teaches there.
02:18The owner of most of the educational institutions in Bihar has a Rajasthani system there.
02:23Why can't this system be in Bihar, Patna, Bhagalpur, Muzaffarpur?
02:28This will happen when you think in that direction.
02:32The most important issue is law and order.
02:35Without law and order, there will be no industry in any state.
02:40Law and order has been a very important issue in Bihar.
02:43If you get a chance to set it right, how will you do it?
02:47There is a need to sanitize the entire system.
02:50First of all, there is a need to address it.
02:53You will have to accept that the law and order system is very worrisome there.
02:58There are murders happening every day.
03:01I don't know and I don't think that any other girl or boy of my age,
03:04maybe that jungle Raj, the decade of the 90s,
03:07and which was not long ago.
03:09In the 2020 elections, the Chief Minister used to stand up and say,
03:12go and ask your forefathers how Bihar was 15 years ago.
03:16We don't remember how Bihar was 15 years ago.
03:19It doesn't matter to us how Bihar was 15 years ago.
03:22You tell us how Bihar is today.
03:25The reality in Bihar today is that murders are happening every day.
03:28Robberies, kidnappings, rapes are happening every day.
03:31Young girls are being raped and thrown into the river.
03:35And my Chief Minister remains silent.
03:37Why? Again, my Chief Minister comes into question.
03:40Because he is not only the Chief Minister of my state,
03:42he is also the Home Minister of my state.
03:44The law and order system in India, the federal structure,
03:48the way the constitution distributes rights,
03:51all these issues come under the state government.
03:55Law and order, education, health.
03:57And in all these matters, our government has been completely unsuccessful.
04:01My state is such a state where the conviction rate is only 6-7%.
04:06That is, if there are 100 crimes, then 6 or 7 people are caught.
04:09That too, how much the investigation will be, that comes into question later.
04:13Whereas in other states of the country, the conviction rate is almost 80-90%.
04:18If you go to Kerala, I think it is 91-92%.
04:21So there is a state where the morale of the criminals is so high
04:26that it is not possible without political protection.
04:29But maybe there will be a panchayat where the production of poison,
04:34that is, the production of unethical liquor,
04:37so that there are no factories.
04:38Now in that, poisonous liquor is made, people drink it and die.
04:41Smuggling is done from restricted areas of liquor bottles.
04:46Now in this, it is not possible without political protection.
04:49All these things are happening.
04:50But if political protection is available, then it should also be investigated.
04:54So will you review the alcohol prohibition policy?
04:58Definitely yes.
05:00I cannot see my people in the guise of poisonous liquor dying.
05:05And in the guise of alcoholism, I cannot see my children being smuggled.
05:09In today's date, they have started smuggling.
