Patna: Nineteen-year-old Ashish Kumar wants to pursue a Japanese language course at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in Delhi.

But he hasn't been able to apply yet, as his intermediate report card has been held back due to procedural delays by the Bihar State Education Board.

After running from pillar to post for the last three months, Ashish finally attended the janta darbar organised at Purnea by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

From being on the verge of giving up all hope, Ashish now feels more relieved.

“I am happy now. Hopefully I'll get admission in JNU,” says Ashish.

Over 10,000 people had gathered at a field to see the CM, who met up with all the applicants.

After looking into their complaints, he issued instant orders to government officials who were accompanying him.

Kumar claims the move was a big hit with the masses. He now plans to take this darbar to all districts of the state.

“Earlier people used to go to the government. Now, the government will come to the people,” says Kumar.

However, everybody is not completely happy with the Bihar CM's new methods.

For Jogabri Devi, who brought a complaint against the police for kidnapping her son, attending the darbar was a futile exercise as she was not even allowed to meet the CM.

“I want to meet the CM but I was not allowed to,” complains Jogabri Devi.

Whether this exercise is a gimmick or will actually benefit the masses, remains to be seen.
