Patna,(BiharTimes): Chief minister Nitish Kumar on Sunday directly held the Bharatiya Janata Party responsible for the ‘kaleja tod denge’ remarks of the state Rashtriya Lok Samata Party chief Arun Kumar made a day earlier.
Talking to the media in Patna the chief minister said that as this statement was made in a confer-ence attended bythe state presidents of all three constituents of the NDA held in the BJP office the saffron party is directly responsible for it. “This statement amounts to the official position of the BJP,” he added.
The Jehanabad MP of RLSP uttered these words while warning the state government to keep its hands off from the Bhumihar caste, who, accord-ing to him, is being victimized in the name of ar-resting Anant Singh. It was the strongest state-ment made by any leader in defence of this agrar-ian upper caste.
Nitish deplored the remarks which talks about physically assaulting him.
“I never speak such language, nor do I repeat them, nor do I subscribe to them. My political ethics do not allow me to use such language,” he said.
