Nitish Kumar On Railways

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Friday demanded a separate Railway Budget to be presented in the house from the general budget.

Weeks after he was granted bail in a fodder scam case, Lalu Prasad Yadav was accused in a fresh corruption case over alleged irregularities in recruitment between 2004 and 2009 when he was Railway Minister.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Wednesday asserted that reports claiming 148 train passengers recently tested positive for COVID-19 at Madhubani railway station are false.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, a BJP ally, has opposed the central government's proposal to bring public-private partnerships in Railways to enhance infrastructure and connectivity.

Angered at a delay in giving permission to prosecute a railway official in a railway scam probe involving Lalu Yadav and his family, Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal United has sharply reminded the BJP-led national coalition of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's slogan on corruption and demanded that it walk the talk.

On a day Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for doing a good job in his drive against corruption, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) questioned former Chief Minister Rabri Devi in connection with an alleged hotel scam case when her husband Lalu Prasad was railway minister.

A 2.6 billion-dollar deal with General Electric centred on building 1,000 diesel locomotives is vital for Bihar, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has written in a letter to Railways Minister Piyush Goyal, who just days ago reassured that the project will not be cancelled.

Lalu Yadav has been asked to travel to Delhi on Monday for interrogation by officials from the country's premier investigating agency, who hold that the 69-year-old politician milked his earlier term as the country's Railways Minister to amass an enviable portfolio of real estate for his children.

Bihar politician Lalu Yadav and his son Tejashwi have been summoned by the CBI next week in connection with a land scam that precipitated the break-up of their grand alliance with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar in July and left them out of power.

A senior bureaucrat from Bihar recorded a video declaring his intent to kill himself. Mukesh Pandey said in the video that is nearly five minutes long, that nobody should be blamed for his suicide though he talks of tension between his parents and his wife, and said she and he were polar opposites "like coal and cheese."

A senior IAS officer from Bihar was found dead close to railway tracks in Ghaziabad near Delhi on Thursday night. A suicide note was found next to the mutilated body of Mukesh Pandey, described by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar as an "efficient administrator and sensitive officer".

The Lalu Yadav family could be in more trouble. The Enforcement Directorate on Thursday also stepped in to probe money laundering by the former railways minister and his family in a railway hotel allotment case being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation.

Thirty liquor bottles were seized from a passenger train at Jhajha railway station in Bihar, in a joint operation by Excise department and GRP on Friday.

Two years after his return from South Africa, an England-trained barrister on April 10, 1917, alighted from a third-class compartment at Patna railway station to set foot in Bihar for the first time that will change the course of history of the entire country.

Five officials of the Government Railway Police were suspended late last evening for not helping a group of 93 school girls who were harassed by some youths on a train they boarded in Patna.
