Siwan's 'Event-Based Development' for CM Nitish Kumar's Visit Sparks Public Outcry

• Bihar CM Nitish Kumar's Prosperity Yatra to Siwan on January 22 triggers rapid beautification efforts.
• Roads, buildings, and parks are being spruced up on a war footing, with machines and workers active day and night.
• An already good road from DAV College intersection to Rajendra Stadium was repaved overnight, sparking public anger over misuse of funds.
• Government buildings and Rajendra Stadium are freshly painted, but locals call it temporary 'event-based development'.
• Panch Mandira Pokhra, neglected after last year's beautification, is being revived with water and artificial grass for the CM's visit, raising questions about authenticity.

Why It Matters: Siwan's rapid, temporary beautification for CM Nitish Kumar's visit highlights concerns over 'event-based development' and misuse of public funds.
