Patna: Bihar
Nitish Kumar is behind the
rejection of visa move
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar told
reporters that there is no question granting Narendra Modi's visa to Bihar
visit, even if the Gujarat CM doesn't choose to become Prime Minister.
"If
small and backward states like United States don't grant visa to Modi and allow
him to attract investment from them, then why should a culturally great and one
of the oldest states of India will allow him to enter in Bihar," said
Nitish Kumar.
Sources
said that Nitish Kumar is worried about the outflow of huge investment in
Bihar, like Haryana if Modi visits his state. However, Kumar denied the
allegations.
"There
is no question of outflow of the investment from Patna to Surat. We are strong
economy and investors believe us. Our developed infrastructure and great
workforce only suggest our capabilities and strength. He can't attract
investment from our region," told Nitish Kumar.
Gujarat
government is yet to react to the ban on visa from Bihar.
