Bihar Education Minister Mithilesh Tiwari criticised the central government’s bridge initiative and declared that cutting Lalu Prasad Yadav’s symbolic red rope would not succeed. He also questioned the state’s TRE (Targeted Regional Employment) scheme.
During a press briefing in Patna, Bihar Education Minister Mithilesh Tiwari expressed strong opposition to the central government’s plan to construct a new bridge in the state. He stated that while Prime Minister Narendra Modi would oversee the bridge’s construction, the symbolic act of cutting Lalu Prasad Yadav’s red rope would not be feasible.
Tiwari also raised concerns about the state’s Targeted Regional Employment (TRE) scheme, asking for clarification on its implementation and impact. His remarks were met with mixed reactions from political peers, including Tejashwi Yadav, Prashant Kishor, and Pappu Yadav, who all responded to the minister’s statements.
The education minister’s comments come at a time when Bihar is preparing for upcoming infrastructure projects and employment initiatives. Analysts suggest that Tiwari’s statements may influence the state’s coordination with the central government on future development plans.
