'Even ministers' names in Bihar's BPL list'

Friday, April 13, 2007
NEW DELHI, APRIL 13: Accusing Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar of ‘mismanaging’ BPL list in the state, Union Minister for Rural Development Raghuvansh Prasad Singh said even ministers have been included in the list while those who should be in have been left out.
"He has simply cancelled the 2002 BPL list and prepared a new one. There is a lot of discrepancies in it as it included even the name of ministers but not those who should be really a part of it", Singh said. He said in Bihar every thing in this regard was totally wrong as only two-to-four per cent persons (right) have been listed and rest is ‘completely fraud’.
Singh said every time he reminds the Bihar Chief Minister, he said, "you (Raghuvansh) is writting a lengthy letter like a Deputy Secretary. Perhaps he doesn't want to read a long and detailed letter on any issue".
Describing the BPL situation in Bihar as worst, he said dozens of fight and violence were being reported every day on the issue due to the fact right people find their name missing from the list.
Bihar is one of the leading state which was yet to submit the BPL list to the Centre and is virtually on the list of states whose funds are going to be stopped if it failed to provide the list in the next two-months.
