Bihar CM said BJP trying to use emotive issues to divert attention.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday lashed out at the BJP-led central government for failing to keep its promises, including bringing back blackmoney stashed abroad and charged it with harping on "emotive issues" to divert attention from the ones affecting the people.
"The NDA government has not only failed to keep various promises, including bringing back black money stashed abroad and distributing it among the people, but it is seeking to create a strife in the society by raking up emotive issues from time to time to divert attention from problems of the masses," he told an expanded meeting of the JD(U) state executive, legislative party and district unit presidents and office bearers at his official residence.
"The NDA government is about to complete two years in office, but nothing has been heard on bringing back black money from abroad ... It has failed to generate employment for youths nor has it kept various promises made during the general election," Kumar said. Failing to live up to the people's expectation, the central government and the Sangh Parivar have been intentionally raising emotive issues like 'love jehad', 'ghar wapsi' and nationalism to divert public attention, he told the party leaders and workers.
Kumar hit out at BJP for harping on nationalism as a core issue of its ideology and agenda and said it was so then why did the saffron party stitch an alliance with PDP despite its adoption of a resolution condemning the hanging of Afzal Guru. "What type of nationalism is it when you slap sedition charge on students (of JNU) for raising slogans and stitch an alliance and form government with a party (PDP) which had publicly backed Afzal Guru?" Kumar asked.
Contrasting the NDA government's failure on various fronts with his government's performance in Bihar, he said that his government has set out on 'saat nischay' (seven pledges) for improving of life of the general people.
"Unlike the BJP-led NDA government, we are performers and believe in translating our commitments into action....we are going to implement the seven pledges with full vigour as we know that these measures will impact the lives of the people in positive ways," the JD(U) leader said.
