CM Nitish lays foundation, inaugurates projects worth Rs 914 crore in Bihar's Jamui

CM Nitish Kumar laid foundations for 189 schemes and inaugurated 181 projects in Jamui district worth Rs 914 crore during his Samridhi Yatra.

"Ladies, why are you running away? Everything is being done for your sake. - Nitish Kumar"

Patna, March 18

On the second day of the 'Samridhi Yatra', Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Wednesday visited Jamui district, where he laid the foundation stone and inaugurated a series of development projects worth Rs 914 crore.

During the visit, the Chief Minister laid the foundation stones for 189 development schemes worth Rs 312 crore and inaugurated 181 completed projects worth Rs 602 crore, dedicating them to the people of the district.

Upon his arrival, he was accorded a warm welcome by senior leaders and party workers at the helipad.

Among the key projects, Kumar inaugurated the Kundghat Reservoir Project, inspected the site, and issued directions to officials for its effective implementation.

He also visited departmental stalls, interacted with beneficiaries, and distributed assistance cheques during the event.

Addressing a large gathering at the 'Jan Samvad' programme, the Chief Minister reiterated his government's commitment to the overall development of Bihar, including backward regions like Jamui.

During his speech, CM Nitish Kumar made a light-hearted remark while noticing movement in the crowd: "Ladies, why are you running away? Everything is being done for your sake. I was watching you all, and it felt wonderful to see you present -- surely you are not going to leave just because I have started speaking?"

Several prominent leaders were present on the occasion, including Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, Cabinet Ministers Vijay Kumar Choudhary, Sanjay Kumar Singh, Shreyasi Singh, and former minister Sumit Kumar Singh.

Following his Jamui visit, CM Nitish Kumar proceeded to Nawada, where he continued his outreach under the yatra.

In Nawada, he laid the foundation for 21 schemes worth Rs 244 crore and inaugurated 37 completed projects worth Rs 55 crore.

An interesting moment occurred during the Nawada event when the stage anchor mistakenly referred to Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary as the "Chief Minister".

As Choudhary rose to speak, the anchor repeated the announcement, prompting a brief moment of amusement.

Choudhary responded with folded hands before proceeding with his address.

The CM's remark to the ladies was a bit awkward, no? "Everything is being done for your sake" – feels a bit patronizing. The work is appreciated, but the language could be more respectful.

Rs 914 crore is a significant investment. Let's hope the funds are utilized properly and there's no corruption in the tendering process. We've seen big announcements before with little on-ground change. Accountability is key.

The anchor's goof-up in Nawada was funny! 😄 These yatras are important for direct contact. My cousin in Jamui said the distribution of assistance cheques to beneficiaries was a smooth process. Positive step.

Interesting to follow Bihar's development model. The scale of projects – 189 foundation stones in one district – is impressive. Hope the focus on backward regions brings sustainable growth and job creation.

Foundation stones are one thing, timely completion is another. The government must ensure these 181 inaugurated projects are fully functional and maintained. Public money should not go to waste. Jai Bihar!
