Bihar on Verge of Bankruptcy? Tejashwi Yadav Questions Government's Policies

Questioning the government's policies, Tejashwi Yadav wrote, "Is Bihar on the verge of bankruptcy? Is the double engine government's capitalist policies and anti-people decisions going to create a financial emergency in the state?" He cited the recent cabinet decision and said that Bihar's financial crisis has become so severe that the government has to approve the withdrawal of Rs 3,662 crore from the Bihar Contingency Fund to pay social security pensions for May, June, and July 2026. Tejashwi reminded that this fund is used only in times of an unforeseen crisis, natural disaster, or special financial disaster. Advertisement Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav alleged that the payment of salaries and pensions of employees in Bihar has been stuck for the last several months, as the government treasury is empty. Contractors have not been paid for the year. He said that new projects are far away, even the projects approved in the year 2023-24 have not been started so far.
