'Very Impressive 20 Years': Shashi Tharoor On Bihar's Transformation

The Nitish Kumar government's work on the infrastructure got a big thumbs up from Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Monday. The BJP, Congress' national rival, is in alliance with Nitish Kumar's party, the JDU, in Bihar.

"No question that the infrastructure is so much better than I had heard before. The roads are better. People are out on streets even late at night, which was not always the case in the past. So far, the electricity seems to work, the water, everything else," Tharoor, who was in Bihar to attend the first Nalanda Literary Festival at the revived Nalanda University, told NDTV.

"I mean, very many good things have happened in recent years, no doubt," Tharoor said.
