A day after he broke his silence on Muzaffarpur rapes, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar appeared in much more combative way and dubbed the shelter home horror as just a negative thing.
Addressing media at an event in Patna, Kumar chided the audience and said that nobody looks at positive work. ‘Zara positive feed par bhi aap log kripa karke dekh lein. Ek aadh negative cheez hogya usi ko lekar chal rahe hain. Jo gadbad karega vo andar jaega. Usko bachaane wala bhi nahi bachega, vo bhi andar jaega (Please look at some of the positive work also. A negative thing happened and everyone is just dragging on. The corrupt won’t be spared. And those who shelter him/her would also be put behind the bars.)’
The remark comes a day after Kumar said that ‘the crime (Muzaffarpur rapes) have left us with a sense of shame and guilt. We want the CBI probe to be monitored by the Patna High Court.’
Meanwhile, the ruling JD(U) has rejected the Opposition’s demand and asserted that Nitish Kumar will not resign. Rejecting the demand for Kumar's resignation, senior JD(U) leader K C TYagi slammed opposition leaders including Congress president Rahul Gandhi for attending the RJD-organised protest in Jantar Mantar here yesterday.
It was a "friendship day" of parties seeking "political mileage" from the "unfortunate and shameful" incident in the state, he said.
"How can rape of young girls which has shamed us could be an issue for opposition parties to unite against the NDA government and the Nitish Kumar-led government in Bihar and demand his resignation. This politics over hapless victims in Bihar is the most unfortunate thing," Tyagi said in a press conference here.
Tyagi asserted that despite the opposition's demand, Kumar would never step down as the chief minister of Bihar and challenged them to unseat him in the Assembly.
"Nitish is a sensitive person and felt ashamed over the incident which the opposition parties are trying to use to hit at his conscience so that he steps down. But, he will never step down, we will not let him do so," he said.
Tyagi also alleged that the resignation demand was aimed at "helping" sand mining and bootlegging that have been effectively checked by the state government.
