BIHAR IN CRISIS: NO MONEY FOR ROADS & BRIDGES, BUT CRORES FOR FREEBIES
If a department in Bihar needs ₹1 crore or more from the state treasury, it must first take clearance from the Finance Department.
Even for building or repairing roads, bridges, and culverts, files are stuck.
In many cases, officials are told to wait for weekseven for urgent work.
This exposes the grim financial reality of Bihar.
The Bihar government is facing an acute cash shortage.
Spending on roads and bridges has been stopped or severely restricted.
With 34 days still left before FY 2026–27 begins, the government admits it has no funds for basic infrastructure construction or maintenance.
Now look at the other side of the story 👇
Thousands of crores are being spent on so-called “free schemes”
Free electricity, cash transfers, pensions, allowances, and subsidies.
Welfare is important.
But when freebies get priority over development, the consequences are dangerous.
Bad roads cause accidents.
Weak bridges collapse.
Delayed repairs cost lives.
In Bihar, development is being sacrificed for short-term political gains.
Instead of investing in infrastructure that creates jobs and growth, money is being drained without building long-term capacity.
This is not governance.
This is financial mismanagement.
Bihar doesn’t need more announcements.
Bihar needs accountability, planning, and sustainable development.
Ask questions.
Raise your voice.
Because a state cannot move forward on empty coffers and broken roads.
