Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is in a race against time to inaugurate some of his pet projects before the model code of conduct comes into effect ahead of the elections in the state.
Union Agriculture Minister Radha Mohan Singh said: “The PM will attend 87th foundation day function of ICAR in Patna and distribute 82 prizes in various categories named after personalities such as Jawahar Lal Nehru, Jagjivan Ram and Choudhary Devi Lal among others”.
The Department of Art, Culture and Youth of the state government has planned this iconic museum to focus on the contributions made by the ancient Magadha Empire and the entire region of Bihar to the evolution of history and civilisation in the Indian subcontinent and throughout Asia.
“Welcoming guests is in the tradition of Bihar which we would follow when the PM visits Bihar on July 25”, Nitish said.
To project himself as a leader aggressively pursuing the development agenda, Nitish on Tuesday opened the state’s longest road over-bridge on Patna’s Bailey Road. Nitish said he would present a report card on July 27 to inform people about his government’s works.

The senior BJP leader alleged that Nitish Kumar created “obstacles” in the construction of Digha-Sonepur road-cum-rail bridge, otherwise this project too would have been dedicated to the nation by the PM during this visit.
