BHAGALPUR (BIHAR): Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday slammed the opposition RJD-Congress combine, alleging that those in power before him “sought votes of Muslims” but failed to check communal clashes.
The JD(U) president made the remark at a function which was attended, among others, by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Governor Arif Mohammad Khan.
The function was held in Bhagalpur, which, incidentally, is remembered for the worst-ever communal riots in Bihar that took place in 1989 when close to 1,000 people lost their lives. PTI
