Bihar govt is not serious to expand Patna Airport

It is heart breaking that Bihar Govt has refused to acquire land for Patna airport.
Someone needs to enlighten the state govt the importance of a proper international airport for a landlocked state like Bihar. When I was in Patna recently for my Kanwar Yatra, I saw four 737 / 320 type aircrafts at the tarmac simultaneously. The hall was chock a block with people. Earlier, we had read report by AAI that at 60% growth, Patna was the fastest growing airport in India. Three to four years back, a Mumbai - Patna - Mumbai flight used to cost more than a Mumbai - London - Mumbai flight. Now, with economy flights like IndiGo and Kingfisher Red, the same round trip costs an affordable Rs 7,000. Contrary to what many believe, the people residing outside Bihar are not necessarily indigent people who travel in unreserved bogies of Indian Railways. Why, even blue collared workers working in Dubai (and there are thousands from Siwan) need a flight to travel in comfort. The airport is also needed for trade, commerce and tourism.
Obviously, this 257 acre facility has run out of space to handle more traffic. Comparatively smaller states like Karnataka and AP have huge international airports and are much the richer for those. Even neighboring UP has a fairly large one at Lucknow (1186 acres) and the one at Varanasi at 582 acres is double to Patna. Ranchi in Jharkhand, again though small, at 546 acres is twice the size at Patna. It handles only a fraction of the traffic of Patna.
Land acquisition can be done at market price. As a matter of fact, the land acquisition for an airport can be done at a price higher than market price since the economics of a fast gorwing airport like Patna will definitely be able to afford it.
I dont know how, but we need to create huge pressure on the Govt of Bihar to take up the issue of land for an airport in a major way
why isnt the AAI procuring the land for the Patna int airport , prafful patel and UPA should answer this
