Miss Nisa yadav I think Laloo Yadav stomach is full of chara LOL
Renovation of Kosi canal is a must for safeguard from flood and overall development of Kosi region. So, the step taken by state government was expected, hope after renovation it will be examined and maintained on yearly basis without a miss.
Miss Yadav, Hopefully you will also get some pie of cake
