Upendra Kushwaha, a rebel Janata Dal-United (JD-U) leader has alleged that Nitish’s government is utilising huge state funds for school libraries to purchase books propagating the RSS ideology.
Talking to media here Kushawaha said: “It is dangerous and alarming because these books only teach hatred,”
Kushwaha who is heading a new outfit the Bihar Nav Nirman Manch said that books like the biography of RSS founder Keshav Baliram Hedgewar, ‘Hinduvta’ and ‘Godhra-The Missing Rage’ were bought for middle schools.
“It shocked me that self-proclaimed secular Nitish Kumar…is helping the RSS to reach out to students,” said Kushwaha, whom the JD-U suspended from the Rajya Sabha.
Another former Bihar minister and JD U leader Chhedi Paswan has also accused chief minister of toeing the line of RSS.
He accused the government of splitting the Dalit community and cheating the members of the community on behest of RSS.
Chhedi Paswan, a JD-U MLA from Mohania said “There is, as such, no development work going on for the welfare of Dalits or Mahadalit community in Bihar on the surface.”
