Has the collective action resulted into high growth rate of Bihar?

People's memory is very short in a democracy like India. Just one and half years back, on the night of 18th August,2008, Bihar faced the biggest catastrophe after independence under the "Sushasan" Of NDA government.Kosi-flood resulted into the loss of lakhs of people in Kosi and Purnea division.
At that time I was working for the rescue and rehabilitation. I was said by one of the district magistrate of that region on the night of 20th-"Ranjan ji, pehle main apni jaan bachaun ya aapke area ke logon ko bachane jaaun?" There was total breakdown of government machinery.Only the poor people helped each other for their survival.As Sony Sir explained that poor people are more cooperating to each other than riches.I found the same during that time.Still crores of rupees of relief-materials are lying and rotting in the premises of railway stations.Loots of billions of rupees by goverment officials taken place at that time.
So,it is not the cooperation,but,manipulation that is showing high growth rate.
A person,sitting in the office of Dy. Chairman,Planning commission,Bihar ,has himself inheriting highest landed property in India(more than 7000 acres of land).Can we expect equal distribution of the so-called growth of Bihar?
