Patna: LJP President, Ramvilas Paswan
on Tuesday slammed Bihar Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar for his
statement that the state lacked resources to implement the
Right to Education Act (RTE) and said the act should be
implemented to ensure rapid growth of Bihar.

"Kumar`s statement that Bihar lacks resources to
implement the act is misleading... when a backward state like
Orissa and states in northern India have come forward to
implement the Act, then Bihar should also follow the suit,"
Paswan told reporters.

Paswan said when the Chief Minister made big claims
about state`s growth, he should not talk about financial
crunch in implementing the Act.

"Without attaining total literacy, the development of
the state won`t be possible," he said.
