Nitish continues tirade against Cong over AMU

Continuing his tirade against the Congress, Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar on Thursday criticised the Congress-led UPA government for earmarking a very ‘meagre amount’ for the the Aligarh Muslim University centre here. Immediately after Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi left the venue of foundation-laying ceremony at Chakla village for the AMU centre, Kumar criticised the Centre saying Rs 136 crore earmarked by the Centre was ‘a very meagre amount.’ The Chief Minister compared the amount to the Rs 1,000 crore his government had provided for setting up an Agriculture University here three months ago.
