Nitish, a puppet of communal forces: Rabri

Patna, Jan 15 (UNI) Former Bihar chief minister Rabri Devi today alleged that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was like a puppet of the communal forces and the state would never develop under his rule.

Talking to newspersons here, she said Mr Kumar was surrounded by sycophants, who would never advise him properly and in such a situation development of the state would be a distant dream.

She suggested Mr Kumar to translate some of his development- related announcements into reality, otherwise the people would never forgive him.

The Leader of the Opposition alleged that almost all sections were being harassed and the so called sushashan(good governance) was meaningless for them. She said the criminals were ''roaming free and enjoying state patronage.'' She said common people were being harassed in the name of providing security to the Chief Minister. She further alleged that Mr Kumar was concerned about his personal security rather than that of the common people.
