Boat tragedy took place when Nitish was playing with Lalu’s grandson, says Sumo

 





Patna,(BiharTimes): Former deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi on Monday asked as to why not a single FIR has been lodged and no official suspended in three tragedies which took place in Bihar on the occasion of festivals in the last over four years.

The first two incidents took place on Chhath day on November 19, 2012 and after Ravan Dahan on October 3, 2014.

Stating that he has no faith in inquiry ordered by the state government for Makar Sankranti day tragedy he asked as to why the chief minister Nitish Kumar was informed about the incident at 7:00 PM when the tragedy took place at around 5:45 in the evening.

SuMo said that Nitish was then playing with the toddler at Lalu Prasad Yadav’s place.

It needs to be recalled that the chief minister had gone to Rabri Devi’s bungalow two hours and twenty minutes before the mishap took place that is at 3:25 in the afternoon. He was offered chura, dahi and tilkut there. Later Lalu’s daughter, Misa Bharati, brought her four month old son to Nitish.

The BJP lead er said that instead of taking any action against officials an FIR has been lodged against a fisherman in this latest case. “Why 48 hours later no one was suspended or transferred,” SuMo asked.

Earlier, Nitish had already answered the saffron party leader’s allegation by stating that the BJP itself was in power in 2012. In fact even the kite flying festival was officially introduced on this occasion in the state at their insistence, the chief minister said.

The former deputy CM also asked as to why SDRF was informed, two hours later. Even SDRF was without walkie talkie.

Meanwhile, RJD leaders have taken strong exception to Sushil Modi’s comment that Nitish was playing with Misa’s son at the time of tragedy.

“Dragging an infant to politics is something absurd. Nitish went to Lalu’s place more than two hours before the tragedy. It is one thing to ask why Nitish was informed an hour later and quite different to allege that he was playing with Misa’s son. What has the two things to do? asked an RJD leader.

“While SuMo was himself in power when the Chhath incident took place, Jitan Ram Manjhi was the CM when stampede after Ravan Dahan took place. Sushil Modi should direct the question to good friend Manjhi, who too got information of the mishap two hours later,” he added.
