Bihar living in era of sixties: PK

Patna, December 1 (UNI) Noted poll strategist Prashant Kishor on Thursday likened the prevailing condition in Bihar to that of the sixties.
Kishor told media persons that in the name of pseudo socialism, leaders kept Bihar poor and backward since independence. It was very disgusting to note that in this age of 21st century when fast pace development was visible across the globe and also in some states of India, Bihar remained lagged behind on almost all parameters of development, he noted.
The poll strategist who is on presently 'Jan Suraj Yatra ' covering entire Bihar for direct interaction with people to assess possibility for launching a political party, said that Bihar had not emerged from talks of Balu (sand) and Aalu (potato) but refused to name the third. Once during RJD regime in Bihar, it used to be said that Balu, Aalu and Lalu would always remain relevant.
