Why Corruption and Reservation-Based Politics Are Stopping Bihar’s Growth

Bihar, a state with immense potential and a rich history, continues to struggle with problems that hold back its development. The two main issues are corruption and reservation-based politics, which affect government jobs, development schemes, and overall progress.

In this blog, we will discuss why corruption and reservation-based politics harm Bihar, how it affect job opportunities, and how the ISV (In-State Value) Program can be the solution Bihar needs for true growth.

Why Bihar Struggles with Corruption and Reservation-Based Politics

Bihar’s journey towards progress is often blocked by unfair practices. Let's understand these problems in detail:

1. Corruption – The Root of All Problems

Corruption is like a slow poison that destroys development. It exists in almost every government scheme and department in Bihar. Here’s how corruption shows its face:

• Jobs for Sale: In Bihar, many government jobs are given not based on talent or merit, but through connections, bribes, and favoritism. Those who can pay the right amount or have the right contacts get jobs, while deserving candidates are left behind.
• Scams in Government Schemes: Many government funds meant for public welfare get lost due to middlemen and corrupt officials. Instead of reaching the people, the money fills the pockets of a few powerful individuals.
• Weak Implementation of Laws: Even though there are laws against corruption, they are rarely enforced strictly. The lack of strict punishment allows corruption to grow.

2. Reservation-Based Politics – Dividing, Not Uniting

Reservation in jobs and education was introduced to help marginalized communities, but it has now become a tool for vote-bank politics. Instead of helping those truly in need, it often benefits those with political influence.

• Vote Bank Over Merit: Politicians promise jobs and benefits based on caste and community to secure votes. This creates a system where jobs are given based on identity, not ability.
• Lack of Real Development: The focus on reservation-based politics diverts attention from creating long-term job opportunities. Rather than focusing on skill development and education, leaders focus on winning votes.
• Dividing Society: Instead of bringing equality, caste-based politics create division. When jobs are given based on caste instead of capability, it causes tension among communities.

How These Issues Impact Bihar’s Growth

The impact of corruption and reservation-based politics goes beyond individual jobs. It affects the entire state and its people.

1. Unemployment and Brain Drain

Many talented and skilled young people leave Bihar because of the lack of fair job opportunities. They move to other states where merit is valued, resulting in a brain drain that weakens Bihar's future.

2. Weak Economy and Development

Corruption in government schemes means that the money meant for roads, healthcare, education, and welfare programs never reaches the people. When infrastructure and services suffer, investments decrease, and economic growth slows down.

3. Loss of Public Trust

When people see that jobs are sold, that funds are stolen, and that opportunities are given based on caste and connections, they lose faith in the government. Public trust is the foundation of any democratic system, and when it's broken, progress becomes difficult.

4. No Motivation to Work Hard

When deserving candidates are ignored due to corruption or reservation-based politics, they lose the motivation to study, prepare, and work hard. If hard work does not result in success, why put in the effort?

The Solution – The ISV Program by Animesh Priyadarshi

What is the ISV Program?

The ISV (In-State Value) Program, developed by Animesh Priyadarshi, is a unique approach to address Bihar’s deep-rooted issues. It is designed to create local value, promote fair opportunities, and reduce dependence on corrupt systems.

Animesh Priyadarshi has already launched several initiatives like:

• SMK Ride - Safe and affordable transportation for Bihar’s people & chosen as the most trusted cab service in Bihar.
• HumToHaiNa - Helping people find trusted services quickly.
• StateDelight - Encouraging local artists and businesses to grow.
• RisingMithilaBusiness - Promoting local businesses for economic growth.

All these projects are for Bihar’s people, and the ISV Program is also "for Bihar, by Bihar". It aims to strengthen the state's economy and create a fair system for everyone.

How the ISV Program Can Solve Bihar’s Issues

1. Transparent Job Opportunities

Under the ISV Program, jobs will be given based on skills and merit, not connections or money. The focus will be on creating more private-sector jobs through local businesses, so students don't have to rely only on government jobs.

2. Reducing Corruption

The ISV Program supports strict monitoring of government schemes to reduce corruption. Technology-based solutions like digital payments, online monitoring, and transparent audits will be used to make sure funds reach the people who need them.

3. Moving Beyond Vote-Bank Politics

Instead of dividing people through caste-based politics, the ISV Program aims to unite everyone for a common goal—Bihar's progress. By creating more jobs and boosting local businesses, it will reduce the dependency on government jobs and minimize the influence of vote-bank politics.

4. Empowering Youth

The ISV Program focuses on skill development and entrepreneurship. By providing training, resources, and support, it aims to empower Bihar’s youth to create jobs rather than just seeking them.

5. Promoting Fair and Equal Growth

The ISV Program will work to provide equal opportunities for all, regardless of caste or background. The focus will be on talent and hard work, ensuring that everyone has a fair chance to succeed.

Conclusion: A New Path for Bihar

Bihar has the potential to become a leader in education, business, and development, but it needs to overcome its biggest obstacles—corruption and reservation-based politics. These problems have held the state back for too long.

The ISV Program by Animesh Priyadarshi is a chance for Bihar to build a system that values merit, hard work, and transparency. It is a program made for the people of Bihar, by someone who truly understands the state's struggles and dreams.

This election, let’s choose progress over politics, unity over division, and merit over manipulation. Let’s choose the ISV Program—a step towards a better, brighter, and fairer Bihar.
