‘Hawa bazzi kar rahe hai aur kuj nahi kala dhan ke mamle me (he is just plying to the gallery and not doing anything concrete on issue of black money),’ Manjhi told reporters after ‘Janata Ke Darbar me Mukhya Mantri’ programme.
‘After being slammed by the Supreme Court, a list of 627 persons having account in foreign banks was submitted but it came out that more than half of the accounts had no money,’ he said in support of his argument.
Asked that leaders of G20 countries have backed the PM on black money, Manjhi said ‘was this (raising the issue at International platform) he had promised to the people?’
The Bihar Chief Minister also made a scathing attack at the Prime Minister for not fulfilling promise of providing special category status to the state.
In reply to a question that condition of Dalits remain poor in Bihar despite all claims of starting schemes for them, Manjhi said ‘its true that the pace with which benefits of such schemes should have been delivered to dalits has not been achieved. But, JD(U) government since times of Nitish Kumar is sincerely trying to accelerate the speed.’
