Development, too, has been on Nitish’s priority list. The 
NDA government has built and repaired thousands of kilometres of roads and hundreds of bridges all across the state. “Earlier it used to take more than three hours to reach Patna from Arrah, which is just 60 km away. Now it takes just an hour because the road has been widened and re-laid,” says Vijay Manjul, an Arrah restaurant owner.
"If I have not brought the moon for the people of Bihar, I have certainly made Bihar a place where they can live and pursue their vocation fearlessly. This is my biggest achievement," Nitish said while releasing the progress report on his government’s four years in power. He completed four years in office on November 24, 2009.
The RJD-LJP combine has charged the Nitish government with corruption, misrule and criminalisation of power. "The people of the state have declared that the Nitish government has failed on all fronts," state RJD president Abdul Bari Siddiqui said while talking to TSI from Patna.
The RJD has asserted that reports of the CAG have exposed the hollowness of the claim of good governance. "Corruption has surfaced in most of the state's departments and the CM has failed to rein it in," RJD general secretary Ram Kripal Yadav told TSI. The RJD has released a “chargesheet” against the government.
Ram Kripal said the CM had told the Assembly that there would be more than 1,44,000 crore rupees of investment in the state, but there is nothing on the ground. The NCP has also released a “Black Paper” against the NDA government chastising it for widespread corruption and misrule. NCP leader Tariq Anwar has said that Nitish Kumar has been a complete failure as chief minister.
Countering the Opposition, the CM asserts that Bihar is poised to be one of the leading states in India. “The central government and other state governments have not only applauded some of the innovative schemes started by us but have adopted them as well,” Nitish says.
The Bihar government has been lauded by none other than the Planning Commission deputy chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia, who publicly said the state had made progress in the infrastructure, education and health sectors in the past four years. If Bihar kept up the momentum, it would achieve 8-9 per cent economic growth, he added.
