Patna, March 5: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Wednesday sought Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s intervention to iron out ‘differences’ between his state and some Maharashtrian leaders in the wake of anti-Bihar statements from Shiv Sena Chief Bal Thackeray.

Kumar requested Singh to convene “a meeting of leaders from both Bihar and Maharashtra to sort out differences”.

“We have to put a stop to these,” he said in Patna.

The Chief Minister’s comments came in the wake of Thackeray targeting Biharis saying they were an “unwanted lot” in all parts of the country.

Kumar said Bihar shares a “very strong and harmonious” relationship with the whole of the country. “We help each other to help the country develop,” he added.

Nitish Kumar, talk to Maratha leaders by Vidhur on 05 Mar 2008

Nitish Kumar, talk to Maratha leaders and resolve the issue. But don't talk to these Congress crooks. These Congressi crroks are the master of divide and rule policy. Manmohan Singh have no guts to talk to Bal Thekerey. Bal Thejkerey is a leader, Manmohan is a champcha of Italian woman.
