TIL Desk/National/Patna/ Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday said an atmosphere of conflict is being created in society to divide voters on the lines of caste or religion to fetch votes. “I have worked under JP (Narayan) and VP Singh. I learnt to work hard from them. I don’t care who will vote for me or not. But an atmosphere of conflict is being created in the society to divide voters on caste or religious lines in order to fetch votes,” Mr Kumar said.
“I don’t care for votes but certainly take care of the voters irrespective of whether he or she would vote for me,” the chief minister said while addressing a function in Patna to observe the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister VP Singh.
Mr Kumar also took exception to the kind of language in use on social media. “A large number of people use social media platform to use such language. How can it be a social media which is so unsocial, as there is no personal interaction at all?”
He said some people try to create conflict in the society, but they must remember that it would not take them towards the solution of problems. Speaking on the occasion, Union Minister for Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution and Lok Janshakti Party chief Ram Vilas Paswan lauded Bihar government’s liquor prohibition decision, saying it has changed the atmosphere in villages.
