Bihar Minister Bijendra Prasad Yadav dropped a bombshell in the assembly: over five years, the state’s MLAs have collectively invested ₹3,633 crore in developmental initiatives, fueling a grassroots revolution in infrastructure and services.
This isn’t mere statistic—it’s a chronicle of change. Funds have birthed 50,000 km of rural roads, 15,000 upgraded schools, and hundreds of health sub-centers, directly impacting 12 crore people. Yadav detailed how biannual reviews ensure funds flow without bottlenecks, with special provisions for backward castes and minorities.
The revelation aligns with Bihar’s ambitious turnaround story under Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, where MLA discretionary powers are balanced with accountability mandates. Per capita spending per constituency averages ₹1.5 crore annually, a jump from pre-2019 levels.
Opposition voices aren’t convinced, labeling it ‘election eve optics’ and calling for a special investigation into fund leakages. Yadav rebutted with data: grievance redressal portals resolved 70% of complaints within 90 days.
With Bihar’s youth eyeing jobs and better lives, these investments signal hope. Future plans include AI-driven project monitoring and green development mandates. As the state eyes double-digit growth, MLA-led spending remains a cornerstone, proving that local champions can drive national progress.
