Bihar Cabinet's No To VAT On Sugar, Sets Up Committee To Monitor Price Rise 
Keeping in mind the rising prices of essential commodities the state cabinet on Thursday decided not to impose Value Added Tax (VAT) on sugar.
Besides, a committee under the chairmanship of deputy chief minister-cum-finance minister, Sushil Kumar Modi, was set up in this regard. The agriculture minister and cooperative minister are the other members of the committee, which will meet twice a week. The cabinet, which met for over two hours on floating restaurant, MV Ganga, also decided to reorganize the Bihar Administrative Service. Now its officers would be directly posted in the sub-division. A decision has been taken to set up Bihar Revenue Service and Bihar Rural Service. Meanwhile, the chief minister Nitish Kumar justified the holding of cabinet meeting on Makar Sakranti day in a floating restaurant stating that this move will not only help preserve the river, but will also give a big boost to the tourism sector. He said that awareness would also be created to preserve dolphins. He charged the other riparian states of misusing the water of river Ganga and polluting it.

Nitish rubbished the statement of the RJD chief Lalu Yadav, who said that people go to Ganga only when death approach them, meaning thereby that the days of the present government are numbered. The chief minister said that his elder brother's (Lalu's) prediction has always gone wrong. "Initially he predicted that my government would not last even six months. Please convey to him that we are not going to go," he said tongue-in-cheek.
The Congress Party too questioned the holding of the cabinet meeting on a floating restaurant and the lavish expenditure on it. The party said that instead of preverving Ganga the chief minister has polluted it. It needs to be mentioned that only in the last week of December the chief minister held a cabinet meeting at Ratnagiri Hill in Rajgir. Earlier the same year the Bihar cabinet sat in Barbighi village in Begusarai district. Then too the opposition parties flayed the government for unnecessary expenditure.
Ministers relished tilkut, chuar (beaten rice), dahi (curd) and other delicacies in today's cabinet meeting
