Bahrain, a small but prosperous Gulf country, is known worldwide for its strong currency Bahraini Dinar (BHD). Bahrain’s currency is many times more powerful than the Indian rupee. Bahrain’s economy is mainly dependent on oil. However, at present Bahrain has strengthened its economic structure considerably. Now this country is known for banking, aluminum production, shipping, tourism and financial services. Under the New Bahrain Vision, the government has promoted economic reforms and foreign investment, which has increased both employment and income. Bahrain is today called the financial hub of the Gulf region.

According to the report of Vice.com, the price of 1 Bahraini Dinar is approximately equal to 235.18 Indian Rupees. If an Indian earns 500 dinars in Bahrain then it is equivalent to approximately ₹ 1 lakh 17 thousand rupees in India. This is why Bahrain continues to be a center of attraction for Indian professionals.

Reasons behind the strengthening of the Bahraini dinar

There are many economic reasons behind the high value of the Bahraini dinar. The country’s political stability, low inflation rate and stable exchange policy linked to the US dollar have made it strong. Bahrain has a low population, but a high per capita income, which maintains economic balance. The banking system of this country is considered very transparent, which further increases the confidence of foreign investors.

Opportunities for Indians in Bahrain

About three and a half lakh Indians live in Bahrain, who are an important part of the economy there. They work in construction, engineering, education, banking, hotels, IT and health services. The Government of Bahrain provides social and religious freedom to the Indian community. Here temples, schools and cultural centers run openly, due to which the Indian diaspora feels connected to their country.

Lifestyle and expenses in Bahrain

The standard of living in Bahrain is very high. Because of this, living here is costlier than India. Rent and food are the biggest expense areas. However, transport facilities are cheaper and better. Education and health services are expensive privately, but their quality is at international standards. Overall, a person living here experiences a safe, clean and modern life.

Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav has seriously accused the Modi government at the Center of not running sufficient number of special trains for Bihar during Chhath Puja.

Tejashwi Yadav said that due to the negligence of the Centre, lakhs of migrant Biharis are forced to travel in inhuman conditions to return home on Chhath festival. He appealed to the people to form our government, you will not face any problem in returning on Chhath.

People returning home by hanging on the doors of trains – Tejashwi Yadav

Tejashwi released a video on social media and said that the Railway Minister and other ministers of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government are lying. He said that out of 13,000, 12,000 special trains are being run for Bihar, but the reality is that people are traveling in crowded trains by hanging on toilets and doors. He alleged that the government’s apathy has made even the great festival of faith like Chhath a victim of politics.

Promise of employment for migrants returning to Bihar

Tejashwi Yadav also assured to provide employment to migrant workers in the state if the opposition alliance ‘India’ comes to power. He said that those who have come to Bihar to celebrate Chhath, I promise them that next year they will celebrate the festival at their homes. We will create employment in Bihar so that no one is forced to go to other states.

Urging the people who returned to Bihar on Chhath, he said that I want to tell everyone that they must eat Thekua but do not go back without voting. Vote for us, because we promise to give a government job to every family.

Questions raised on overcrowding and chaos

The RJD leader shared some videos on social media, in which trains are seen packed with passengers. He said that people coming to Bihar during the festival season are being treated like animals. There is no space in trains and people are traveling sitting in toilets. Tejashwi called this an example of the ‘anti-Bihar mentality’ of the central government.

Tejashwi said that citing the data presented in the Parliament, about three crore migrant workers of Bihar are registered, while including the unregistered people, this number reaches five crore.

Voting will be held in two phases in Bihar on 6th and 11th November, while the counting of votes will take place on 14th November. In such a situation, this statement of Tejashwi has heated up the political atmosphere along with the Chhath festival.
