In today’s episode, we have Mrityunjay Sharma in conversation with Raj Shamani. He is a Politician, an Entrepreneur, and an Author. He is also the Election Management Chief of BJP in Jharkhand. He has written a popular book- Broken Promises. In this episode, we talked about why many people from Bihar shy away from saying that they are from Bihar, and why while the rest of India was growing, Bihar remained poor. We then talked about what his book ‘Broken Promises’ meant and why Bihar was living a nightmare for 15 years. We also discussed how Lalu led Bihar to its downfall and all the scams he did, including the 900 crores ‘Chara Ghotala’. He shared the Rohini Acharya story and how she became a doctor and the ‘Gautam and Shilpi murder story’. We talked about the Bahubalis in Bihar, and what led to the downfall of Lalu Prasad Yadav. We then discussed the kidnapping and paper-leaking industries in Bihar, how roads, pools, trains, and bridges are robbed in Bihar, the story of Ranjit Don, and much more.
