Bhai Virendra, a prominent leader of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), has raised serious concerns regarding the financial state of the Bihar government, asserting that its treasury is entirely empty. He argued that while the government is portraying a façade of financial stability and pretending to have sufficient funds, the reality is quite stark. Contractors who have completed road and building projects are reportedly facing significant delays in payment, which has led to rising unrest among them due to their unmet financial obligations.

In his statements, Virendra noted that the government had previously issued directives to the treasury to withhold payment for bills, causing widespread anxiety among contractors who have completed their work. He emphasized that many of these contractors have not yet received their payments despite fulfilling their contractual duties, leading to their increasing frustration and despair. This situation indicates a broader issue of financial management within the state and highlights the urgency for a transparent and accountable budgetary process.

The implications of Virendra's statements could resonate deeply within the political landscape of Bihar. As these contractors struggle without payment, they are likely to voice their grievances publicly, potentially leading to protests or unrest that could challenge the government's authority. Furthermore, if the treasury truly is running low on funds, this raises serious questions about the state’s financial planning and future projects, affecting the administration's credibility and its relationship with the electorate.
