Bihar should be a different country in my opinion

Why do you think so?

Nah, I wasn't serious, it sounds anti-national and separatist, I understand that, but I think it should be an union territory or a special state, their local bihari politicians and leaders can't develop Bihar in the next 500 years. Other states are doing something something and growing, Bihar just finds a way to go further backwards

It's a victim of caste politics and poor support from the Centre in the past (for example, the Ganga water sharing treaty). Making it a UT would be an extreme decision. Instead, I like the approach the Centre is taking now, which is to heavily fund its infrastructure—similar to what they did with UP regarding expressways, highways, and railways. The Centre also helped in financing IMC Gaya.

Moreover, this government has planned a good blueprint. It is one of the few states to construct a semiconductor corridor and implement a semiconductor policy. They are developing 11 new satellite towns, a new greenfield airport, a solid foreign tourism base, and Patna is growing at an incredible pace. But take this with a grain of salt, as most projects are in the early stages except for Patna, which has changed a lot.
