Patna, 5 February (ABN). On the third day of the budget session, during a discussion on the Governor's address in the Bihar Legislative Assembly, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said, "Everyone knows the situation before 2005, since we came to power, we have been working on development, people did not come out of their homes after 5 pm, no one used to venture out in the evening, there used to be a lot of Hindu-Muslim conflict."

Nitish Kumar said, "The condition of education was very bad. The health system was completely destroyed before 2005, there were no medical facilities. The power situation was so bad that it was difficult to say when it would come and when it would go. After our government came, there has been development in every field and it will continue. Now there is no fear, there is an atmosphere of peace."

Nitish Kumar said that our government has done the most work in the field of education. The uniform scheme was started for girls. 258,000 government teachers were appointed from 2023. Five opportunities were announced for contract teachers to become government teachers. Four opportunities have been given so far. 30,000 contract teachers have been appointed so far since 2006. Contract teachers are being made government teachers through exams. So far, 266,000 teachers have passed. Now 73,000 teachers are left, they will get one more opportunity. Now the number of government teachers has reached 10,000 across the state. The number of patients has increased to 524,000.

Criticism of former Chief Minister and RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, the Chief Minister said that before his government was formed, the health system was in a very bad state. Hospitals used to treat only one or two patients. Now, on average, 11,600 patients visit primary health centers every month. Those people did not do anything, they went to jail and then made their wife the Chief Minister. When we came to power, we also arranged for free medicine. Twelve medical colleges are currently operating in the state, 27 more are being built.
