Bihar government again denied visa to Narendra Modi
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.
