Nitish government constructing roads in RJD areas: Sushil Modi

PATNA: Former deputy CM Sushil Kumar Modi on Friday alleged the Grand Alliance government was working on roads only in Saran and Vaishali districts associated with the ‘Lalu (Prasad) family’ or in the areas of RJD functionaries.
Modi said the Nitish Kumar-led government sanctioned 16 roads in the last 10 months, most of which were for the above-mentioned favoured areas. Seven roads involving a cost of Rs 582 crore are being constructed for Saran-Vaishali districts.Besides, one road each has been sanctioned for the areas of incarcerated ex-Siwan MP Mohd Shahabuddin and ex-minister Iliyas Hussain, both of the RJD, Modi added.
The construction work has either been stopped or was slow with regard to seven other projects for reasons of unavailability of land or financial crunch, Modi said and specially referred to the proposed Sattar Ghat bridge across the Gandak, Ara-Chhapra bridge, approach road of Digha-Sonepur bridge, Bihta-Sarmera road, Ara-Mohania road, Digha-Deedarganj Ganga Path and six-lane Raghopur-Bidupur bridge across the Ganga.
