Patna, (Bihar Times): Now it is Ram Bilas Paswan’s turn to flay the Nitish Kumar 
government over the non-availability of land for the industries in Bihar.  
    
Addressing a public meeting in Tekari sub division of Gaya district on Wednesday 
to garner support for his November 28 Sankalp Rally the Union minister for steel 
and fertilizer said the demand for setting up an industry like Bokaro Steel Plant 
had no relevance when the state government had failed to provide land to set up 
an industry. He said the Nitish Kumar government had failed to ensure all-round 
development of Bihar and Lok Janshakti Party was the only alternative here.  Quoting 
from the data he said that the state government was indulging in black-marketing 
the fertilizers. He offered to quit from the ministry and even give up Parliament 
seat if his data was proved wrong. It needs to be mentioned that a couple of days 
back Nitish Kumar accused Paswan of misleading people over the fertilizer issue.
 
Paswan is the second Union minister after Lalu Yadav who accused the Nitish government 
of not providing land for the developmental projects for the state. Nitish on 
his part retorted that he would not allow Nandigram to take place in Bihar.
