In an oblique reference to the erstwhile RJD government, Bihar Governor Buta Singh today admitted that the state had missed ‘‘good governance’’ and reaffirmed the newly-installed NDA regime’s commitment to ushering in a new era of development with a ‘‘humane face’’.
‘‘Bihar missed good governance. People were fed up with kidnapping, extortion and violence in rural areas. A large number of businessmen and entrepreneurs had to wind up their activities and new investment was not forthcoming,’’ the Governor said in his address to the joint sitting of the two Houses of Bihar Legislature.
Stressing the need for re-establishing the ‘‘rule of the law’’, Singh said, ‘‘A slack and casual administration cannot achieve this goal and the new government will accord top priority to revitalising the administrative machinery.’’
