Is the Central Government being unfair to Bihar? Two recent big decisions have emphasized this question. What are both the decisions, is Bihar really being taken over, what are the MPs and ministers doing, we will know; I don’t understand… Verdict-1: 466 villages drowned, not a penny found, Rs 1,277 crore to Gujarat After torrential rains in Nepal, Bihar’s Gandak is in spate. Due to this, embankments, zamindari dams and protective embankments have been breached at many places. NASA has also confirmed the severe flood in satellite photos and reports. NASA’s study of satellite images taken on September 20 and September 29, 2026 has provided clear scientific evidence of the extent of the flood. Despite all this, the Central Government has not announced any relief package for Bihar till October 4. Even the Center has not given even one rupee to Bihar out of its share of Rs 1971 crore allotted under SDRF (State Disaster Response Fund). On 16 September 2026, Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan came to inspect the flood. Went. But the Center has not yet provided financial assistance. Whereas… According to the press release of PIB, on August 1, 2026, the Central Government released the first installment of the central share of SDRF for the financial year 2026-27 of Rs 44.55 crore to Arunachal Pradesh, Rs 379.35 crore to Assam and Rs 500 crore to Gujarat. Announced to give Rs 500 crore to Maharashtra and Rs 500 crore to Odisha in the second installment. Decision-2: ‘Pali’ language of Bihar, Center for Excellence will open in Odisha On October 1, 2026, the Ministry of Education of the Government of India approved the creation of a ‘Center for Excellence’ for the preservation of five classical languages - Assamese, Bengali, Pali, Marathi and Prakrit. Its objective is to promote its conservation, research and digitalization. According to the notification of the ministry, a center for excellence will be opened for Assamese in Tezpur University of Assam, Bengali in Visva Bharati University of Bengal, Pali in Odisha Central University, Prakrit in Gujarat Central University and Marathi language center in Deccan College Post Graduate and Research Institute in Pune, Maharashtra. Whereas… It is well known that Lord Buddha used to preach in Pali language from Bodhgaya in Bihar. The origin of Pali language is believed to be from Magadha in Bihar. It is mentioned in history books as well as in Indian Government documents. Modi government recognized Marathi, Pali, Prakrit, Assamese and Bengali as classical languages on 3 October 2024. It is said in the document and press release issued by the Government of India on 4 October 2024… In the press release of the Government of India issued on 3 October 2024, it is clearly stated that the Bihar government had proposed to give the status of classical language to Pali. A committee was formed regarding this demand. 42 MPs, 8 ministers, what are they doing then? At present, the Modi government at the Center includes 42 MPs from Bihar (30 Lok Sabha, 12 Rajya Sabha) and 8 ministers. 14 MPs (10 Lok Sabha, 4 Rajya Sabha) are in the opposition. Despite this, no major investment has come to Bihar so far. There are 2 big reasons for this… 1. No vision, no special hold in the area, only social equations Political analyst Sanjay Singh says, ‘There is a clear lack of vision among the MPs of Bihar. The MPs here are not able to lobby for their state in Delhi. Whereas, MPs from South remain camping in Delhi-Noida. He tries to carry out a big project in his area in some way or the other. Just look at the latest example, Semiconductor 2.0 Mission started in Delhi in September. In this, the MPs from South lobbied vigorously. Took the project home. Bihar MPs remained busy in making statements and creating caste equations. 2. Most of the MPs do not know their rights. According to the report of PRS Legislative Research, more than 80% of the MPs of Bihar do not present even a single private member bill in their entire 5-year tenure. Most of the MPs are either unable to present the bill due to lack of knowledge of its complex process/drafting, or do not include it in their priority. There have been only 2-3 exceptional MPs (like MPs from Nalanda or Nawada) who have introduced multiple bills. Political analyst KK Lal says, ‘The reality is that the MPs here are not even aware of their full rights. They find it a big task to admit patients in hospitals, get railway tickets confirmed, run special trains during festivals.
