People have purchased broom to clean outside muck, says Bihar CM

Taking a dig at Narendra Modi and BJP, Bihar CM and JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar on Saturday said people of the state have purchased brooms in large quantity during dhanteras to ‘clean the muck’. ‘People have purchased broom in large quantity to clean the muck coming from outside as well inside the state,’ Kumar said while addressing a function here. People of the state would clean the ‘dirts’ muck coming from outside to make their house and the state clean, he said in an apparent reference to Modi and BJP. ‘They will remove darkness forever,’ he said. Kumar’s stinging comments came a day after he had said said that people are coming from outside to ‘disturb’ communal harmony of the state. The remarks were aimed at Modi and his party which has embarked on ‘ashthi kalash (urns) yatra’ to pay respect to those killed in serial blasts  on 27 October.
