==Corruption, conviction and anarchism== | |||
Mishra assumed power after fall of Abdul Ghafoor and he, according to Ashwini Kumar, patronised the [[Forward Caste]]s in his government with 40% of the ministers in his cabinet hailing from Forward Castes. According to Frankel he cultivated a social coalition of [[Brahmin]]s, [[Dalit]]s and [[Muslim]]s and checked the political ascedency of the backwards . In fact, it was Mishra's rule in which crime and politics became unseperable and several contemporary observers notes that, "politics became a game of personal gains and loss." Though, he took populist measures like distribution of surplus land over ceiling laws to [[Scheduled Caste]]s, his tenure is perceived as highly corrupt and repressive.

Mishra maintained that while he supported a free press as necessary and vital to a democracy, it must be controlled if one section of it acts irresponsibly. Citing instances of ''character assassination'' in the press that would damage the government's credibility, he said that he expected commitment to national goals and aspirations from journalists.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1982/08/19/world/new-press-law-stirs-concern-in-india.html|title=New Press Law Stirs Concern in India|first1=William K.|last1=Stevens|first2=Special To the New York|last2=Times|date=19 August 1982|access-date=9 January 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181106004926/https://www.nytimes.com/1982/08/19/world/new-press-law-stirs-concern-in-india.html|archive-date=6 November 2018|url-status=live|newspaper=The New York Times}}</ref> Addressing a Congress-I Party meeting in [[Lucknow]], Prime Minister [[Indira Gandhi]] said she had not read the Bihar Press Bill but understood from government lawyers that it contains nothing to gag the press.

In an unprecedented collective challenge to government attempts to curb press freedom, most of India's 10,000 newspapers shut down in protest of the anti-press measure adopted in Bihar and supported by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.<ref name="Jagannath Mishra Reference1" /> Journalists throughout the country walked out of their newspapers to protest what they regarded as "creeping" state censorship reminiscent of the tough [[The Emergency (India)|emergency]] regulations imposed by Gandhi between 1975 and 1977.<ref name="washingtonpost.com"/> Exactly one year after the Bihar Assembly passed Jagannath's strict measure, the chief minister moved a motion in the Assembly withdrawing the bill - even as it was waiting for presidential assent.<ref name="Jagannath Mishra Reference1" /> For the first time in the constitutional history of the country a bill awaiting presidential assent had been withdrawn.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/indiascope/story/19830815-bihar-cm-jagannath-withdraws-infamous-press-bill-770913-2013-07-16|title=Bihar CM Jagannath withdraws infamous Press Bill|last1=Farz|first2=Ahmed|last2=July 16|first3=2013 ISSUE DATE|last3=August 15|first4=1983UPDATED|last4=June 17|first5=2014 16:49|last5=Ist|website=India Today|access-date=9 January 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181106053258/https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/indiascope/story/19830815-bihar-cm-jagannath-withdraws-infamous-press-bill-770913-2013-07-16|archive-date=6 November 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> | |||
In an interview to ''[[The Indian Express]]'' in 2017, Mishra said he regretted the decision of bringing the bill — which he claims was taken to keep PM Indira Gandhi in good humour "at the peak of her differences with [[Maneka Gandhi]]"."I admit that I should not have brought the Bihar Press Bill," Mishra told The Indian Express from Delhi. "I did so to keep then PM Indira Gandhi in good humour. During one of my visits to Delhi, I saw Indira in a pensive mood. She was upset with reports about the differences between her and Maneka Gandhi. She had been getting bad press. She asked me if I can bring a bill on the lines of Tamil Nadu and Orissa and asked me to meet then information and broadcasting minister [[Vasant Sathe]], who gave me a detailed brief.

On 10 June 1980, during his first cabinet meeting of his second term as [[Chief minister (India)|Chief Minister]] of Bihar, Mishra promised to get the state Official Language Act amended to make [[Urdu]] the second official language of the State (in addition to [[Hindi]]). At the time, Bihar was one of the few states that was contemplating giving Urdu an official status.
