Raghuvansh refutes Nitish's allegation of non-cooperation

Ranchi, Jan 16 (UNI) Union Rural Develpment Minister Raghuvansh Prasad Singh today refuted Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's charge of non-cooperation by the Central Ministers belonging to the RJD, and contended that it was extending full cooperation to the state.

Mr Kumar yesterday alleged that all the RJD members, also the members of the Central Cabinet, were not cooperating with the state government regarding developmental schemes, and said it had stopped the construction of roads in the state under NHDP phase three.

Talking to UNI here, Mr Singh said the allegations were baseless and all the road construction projects under the NHDP phase three would be approved next month.

He said the Centre had provided sufficient funds to the Bihar government but charged the latter with not utilising it properly.
