Uncouth Bihari Minister
Bihar's Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh was in the eye of a storm for pushing an elderly woman in Bhagalpur district when she went up to him to ask for a job, causing her to fracture her arms.
Singh has denied the allegation.
Singh reportedly pushed Phoola Devi, whose husband had died three years ago, during a function in Bhagalpur district, about 200 km from Patna on Thursday. Phoola Devi's arms were allegedly fractured due to the push Singh gave her when she approached him for a job on compassionate grounds.
This Bihari minister is not a servant of the people. Uncouth and belligerent, he's not the person who thinks he owes his position to his constituents. After all, we know how 'free' and 'fair' elections really are in Bihar, and how much depends on muscle power and caste calculations. The Bihari Minister has an ugly face. Chief minister Nitish Kumar may be more of a gentleman, but it's a tough task getting his Ministers to behave.
The opposition members in Bihar baying for Singh's blood are no less uncouth and unmannerly. Ask many of these opposition MLA's what their role is, and they'll say it's to oppose, to prevent the ruling party from gaining ground, and that means to sabotage any proper development plans!
In the caste equations and tussles, the real poor are left to wallow in poverty.
