Bhagalpur Air-service in doldrums, courtesy credit war



Once again the credit war has started casting its shadow over various development related works in the city, which is considered to be second capital of the city. The credit war between Local MLA and state Urban Devlopment minister Ashwini Choubey and MP Shahnawz Hussain has pushed the dreams of bhagalpuris bringing their city on the air-route into uncertainty.

A team of the Airport Authority of India (AAI), visiting the site (Bhagalpur Airport) yesterday, left the city immediately after protest from local residents fearing the demolition of their houses for the project.

And to top it all, Local MLA and state Urban Development Minister Ashwini Kumar Choubey, who had gone to the site to pacify the agitated residents, said that “Jahaj Udega to mere sine par se”.

It has been reported that he has taken this populist stand just to take the credit away from the MP Shahnwaj Hussain, considered instrumental behind the project. This incident reminds us of twenty years back when several development related projects had to be shunned because of the Credit war between Bhagwat Jha Azad and Shivchandra Jha.
