NCP burns effigy of Nitish

Patna, Jun 23 (UNI) NCP workers today burnt the effigy of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar in protest against the ''failure'' of the NDA government on all fronts.

State spokesman of the NCP Mritunjay Kumar said here that the effigy of the Chief Minister was burnt in protest against the ''failure'' of the NDA government, which had come to power in the state on ''tall'' promises of moving the state on fast track of development.

Despite the promise of improving the law and order situation within three months of coming to power, the Nitish Kumar government had failed to check crimes in the state so far, he added.

Mr Kumar also criticised the attempt of the JD (U) to create obstruction in a noble way of protesting the ''failure'' of the Nitish Kumar government.

JD (U) workers tried to prevent the NCP workers from burning the effigy of Mr Kumar, he said adding some of the party workers also sustained serious injuries in the incident.

An FIR was also lodged in this connection at Kotwali Police Station.
