New Delhi, July 20 (IANS) Stepping up preparations for the approaching Bihar assembly elections, the Congress has decided to undertake protest marches in all districts of the state Aug 9 to protest "corruption and failures" of the Nitish Kumar government.

The decision to undertake a 'padyatra' was taken at a meeting of the party's central observers here which was presided over by party general secretary Mukul Wasnik.

Imran-ur-Rehman Kidwai, chairman of the party's minorities department, said the padyatras will focus on "corruption" of the Nitish Kumar-led coalition government in the state.

Kidwai said that during the campaign the party will raise the issue of "irregularities in withdrawal of Rs.11,000 crore from the state treasury" and "corruption in implementation of central schemes."

What happened in Bihar this week and in the heart of the house of Democracy, which entire world watched, has given shock to millions of Biharis residing outside Bihar, who are become speechless, unable to answer the questions from their friends and colleagues about this behavior, to justify their election as representative of people of Bihar. You can give them any answer like the same happened in Maharastra, UP, J&K and Karnataka assemblies but when it comes to Bihar people don't spare, because this is the image which has stayed with Bihar for mroe than 15 years. And when everything was improving, this one comes as a serious blow to the image of Bihar and its people.

But I have to add few more things. This is what Mr. Lalu Yadav and company along with congress can offer to people of Bihar and Bihar: humiliation, badname, global insult. This is what they have given in past for so many years and this time again and after long time they just made the wound fresh! The video clip and face of vandalizing "FEMALE" Congress MLC Jyoti is just flashing time and again in people's mind, how a female could go such cheap and project females of Bihar this way.

"Vinash Kale Vipreet Buddhi". RJD and LJP are putting the last nail in their coffin. Come this election and they will be uprooted for good from the politics of Bihar. We have had enough of these goondas. If they feel that public is made only of illiterates and caste-mongers, who never care for what they do inside the assembly, they are in for a big surprise this time. This Ram-Vilas-Paswan, who is already a forgotten name in politics now.
May God Save my Bihar.

Look who is going for protest marches against corruption and failures of the Nitish Kumar government. Congress is at centre and they want to protest against the failure of the Nitish Government. I am having few questions for congress people.
1. Who is responsible for millions of tones of wheat lying in open air?
2. Who is responsible for price rise of basic commodities?
3. Why Mr. Sharad Pawar is more interested in IPL that Agriculture?
4. Why so many railway accidents are happening?
5. Why each Indians are being forced to eat adulterated food?
6. Why Centre is not clearing power projects of Bihar?
There are many question which congress has to answer before going to poll.
