Hooch tragedy taking a toll in a dry state is in itself embarassing, stunning and shameful with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar rubbing off his hands by denying rights of compensation to deceased families. From, Chapra to Begusarai more than sixty five have died consuming spurious country made liquor leading to vomitting, stomach ache and loss of eye sight with most of them hailing from lower rungs and margins of the society with bare minimum needs struggling to sustain and survive. Nobody is willing to take the blame the loss of precious lives of ordinary individuals who for the local administration are a number counted, registered and maintained in the records. Does this prohibition serve any reasonable purpose when at the very first instance those who should have benefited are themselves the sufferers and victims for an incapable state apparatus and machinery least responsible redressing their genuine grievances as this stalemate is going to persist with a self congratulatory Nitish babu singing praises patting his back for a welfare scheme shaping his image and cult as a mascot and messiah of taking governance ( saat nischay) to every doorstep with an eye on voters of backward and most backward strata. Nitish might have had their endorsement for the gaps and loopholes in the tardy implementation of this piece of legislation electorally challenging him on home turf. Forget, about special status for Bihar Nitish babu as at this juncture ensuring that no more further casualties take place tasking panchayats, wards, councillors and district magistrate through ways of awareness and counselling sessions to sensitize the general population of its after effects scaling it down is one of the competitive challenges before a grand old coalition government in state primarily comprising RJD and JDU. Either, there leaders should clarify their stand or else risk a possible downslide. Bihar Mai kaa ba ( phrase in Bhojpuri)
