Nitish, Lalu express disgust over VK Singh’s remarks

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and RJD supremo Lalu Prasad on Thursday criticised Union Minister VK Singh for his controversial remark on the killing of two Dalit kids at a village in Haryana recently and expressed concern at the state of affairs in the country.

“Aghast at the senseless comment made by some BJP leaders, including the Union minister, on tragic Dalit killings in Haryana,” Kumar tweeted.

Prasad wondered in a tweet what was happening in the country as Modi’s ministers were making disparaging remarks. “Desh mein ye sab kya ho raha hai..mana ki jubaan mein haddi nahi hoti par Modi ke mantrion ki badjubaani desh ke reedh ki haddi tod rahi hai (what is happening in the country, one can understand that tongue’s are boneless, but disparaging remarks by Modi’s ministers are breaking the backbone of the country,” Prasad tweeted.

Observing that India was standing at crossroads, the RJD supremo said he had made a prophetic statement last year telling people that it was for them to decide whether the country would stay together.

Prasad said Singh’s remarks represented the thoughts of the RSS and one who exploited backwards and dalits more will be glorified as big leaders by BJP and RSS.
