Patna,(BiharTimes): In a rare unanimity the ruling Janata Dal (United) and main opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal on Sunday came down heavily on the Gujarat chief minister, Narendra Modi, for his remarks on the backwardness of Bihar.
Modi, while addressing a public meeting in Rajkot on Sunday, blamed caste politics in Bihar as the main reason for its backwardness. The state BJP concluded its two day executive meeting in Rajkot on Sunday. |
Without taking anyone’s name Modi said that, at one point of time, Bihar was a political and spiritual leader of the country, but it slipped into socio-economic backwardness ever since the casteist leadership took to centre stage.
As Modi’s criticism was directed towards his Bihar counterpart Nitish Kumar the Janata Dal (United) spokesman, Neeraj Kumar, MLC, strongly denied that Bihar is any more a backward state.
He claimed that the state government had attained a consistently high growth rate, which is even better than Gujarat and is on course to become a developed state in due course of time.
On the other hand the RJD alleged that Modi has no business to cast aspersion on others even as he was himself accused of unleashing terror on the religious minorities in his own state.
