Patna, (Bihar Times): May sound strange nevertheless true. Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar on Monday justified the citizens’ agitation demanding more electricity for them. However, instead of accepting the blame on his own he said that the people were demanding power from the National Thermal Power Corporation and he is with the people’s demand. He said that the Centre is denying them power which is totally unjustified.

However, the chief minister put all the blame on the local administration for not informing the government about the genuine demands of protestors and instead tried to crush it. He even flayed the opposition parties for making it a political issue.

However, the chief minister did not explain as to how the local administrative officials were getting power. Is there some faults in distribution of power for which the local administration and not the NTPC is responsible?
