Nitish Talks

All our readers must be aware that I am a great fan of Nitish Kumar.
The recent assembly elections show that the whole of Bihar have the same feelings and have given him a two-thirds majority in the assembly.
As is usual an interview was published in the Telegraph.
One item I liked in the interview is given below.
I just hope he enacts the law and it is followed by all the other states and the Central Government.



Q: Your priorities now?

A: Essentially, to continue the work we have been doing. Governance is a 24/7 thing, it must go on and governance is not about occupying office, it is a whole spectrum of things.

Q: Specifically?

A: An anti-corruption law — a zero-tolerance legislation. I want to empower the state to seize the personal properties and assets of those found guilty of corruption. That signal needs to go out strongly. We have seen caste arithmetic being neutralised, we want to deal strongly with corruption.
