RJD vice-president and editor of 'RJD Samachar' Prem Kumar Mani has also strongly criticized the organization of the centenary year celebrations of the Bihar Legislative Assembly building. He has said that as a former MLA, I am also invited to attend this function. But my conscience forbids me to participate in it. In my view, it is like being involved in a crime. I consider it necessary to oppose this event.
He has written on social media that Bihar came into existence in 1912 as an independent province. The rationale for the centenary-celebration on this was understandable, but in 1921, the Bihar Legislative Assembly building was built and its centenary celebrations, its justification is beyond comprehension.
He has written that the Chief Secretary of the Government and two MLAs were victims of mismanagement due to the Corona epidemic in Bihar. No one will be found whose relatives or acquaintances have not been affected by this epidemic. Organizing a Jalsa on the pretext of a hundred-year-old building in the midst of the fear of a third wave of the pandemic is not just a matter of extravagance, it is a case of insensitivity.
Crores of rupees will be spent. If the Legislative Assembly had modernized and expanded any one hospital with so much money. No one would have bowed down in its appreciation, but the misdeeds of this procession can only be condemned. Mani has said that the President should have written an admonishing letter to the Speaker of the Bihar Legislative Assembly by rejecting the proposal to organize the event.
