Bihar BJP says Nitish Kumar responsible for communal violence in the State

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Bihar unit president Samrat Choudhary and Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly Vijay Kumar Sinha on Friday jointly slammed Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and held him responsible for the communal violence in Nalanda and Rohtas districts during Ram Navami processions on March 31.

Both leaders, during their visit to Nalanda, accused the Chief Minister of engaging in politics of appeasement and demanded that a commission should be constituted under the chairmanship of the sitting judge of the Patna High Court to investigate the communal violence.

Mr. Choudhary said a delegation of the BJP will meet Bihar Governor Rajendra Vishwanath on May 8 to formally complain about the Nitish Kumar government. He said the BJP has no faith in the district administrations and District Magistrates of Rohtas and Nalanda.
