If I open my mouth many BJP people will be in trouble:Nitish

June 24, 2013

NitishPatna, Jun 24: In a veiled threat to BJP leaders on the offensive against him after JD(U) parted ways with the NDA partner, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today said that if he opened his mouth many of them would be in trouble.

"If I open my mouth a lot of people will be in trouble," Kumar told reporters on the sidelines of a programme here.

BJP President Rajnath Singh, who addressed a party rally here yesterday, had trashed JD(U)'s allegations that Narendra Modi was an autocratic and divisive leader.

He had attacked JD(U) for 'suddenly' finding fault with the Gujarat chief minister and his leadership after being part of the alliance for 17 years.

Former deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi, former NDA convenor Nandkishore Yadav, Rajiv Pratap Singh Rudy, Shahnawaz Hussain, Ravishankar Prasad, C P Thakur and state BJP President Mangal Pandey have been firing verbal salvos at Kumar after the parting of ways.

The acrimony widened so much that workers of JD(U) and BJP clashed on the streets of Patna during the Bihar bandh on June 18. BJP MLAs had unleashed a verbal attack on Kumar during the confidence vote.

After JD(U) snapped ties with BJP on June 16, Kumar had said political issues would be answered politically and advised leaders of both parties not to point fingers at each other.

A total of 18 persons have been arrested so far for allegedly attacking Teli's house, he said.

"These three persons were also involved in pelting stones on a police party during protests in Duliajan," Sreejith said.

A BJP source confirmed that Debajit Hazarika and Vicky Sonar are party activists.

Family members of the accused have given statements to the police on the arrested persons' alleged role in violence and attacking Teli's house, sources said.

When contacted, Teli said, "I do not know for what reasons they were apprehended. But if police arrested them after proper investigation, then there must be some truth. The trio stays near my house. They always attended my programmes with their families."

A total of 88 people have been arrested so far from Dibrugarh district for their alleged involvement in violence during protests against the Act.
