Nitish regime has failed, says Fernandes

Staff Correspondent

PATNA: Janata Dal (United) leader and National Democratic Alliance convener George Fernandes on Sunday attacked Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar after meeting party leaders lodged in the central jail here on Sunday.

“The Nitish Kumar government should have gone much earlier,” said Mr. Fernandes after emerging from the Beur Central Jail where he met the former MP, Anand Mohan Singh, who has been awarded death sentence in the G. Krishnaiah lynching case, and half-a-dozen legislators, among others.

Mr. Fernandes alleged that the Nitish Kumar government had failed on all fronts and the law and order situation had deteriorated in recent times. The floods had caused untold miseries and the rains made life worse in cities and towns and the government remained unmoved.

As regards the convicts and undertrial prisoners he met in the jail, he said he was concerned about their children. “A middle way had to be evolved and the jail manual changed.”
