Patna, JD MLA Anant Kumar Singh on Saturday claimed his “nine murders for Nitish Kumar” remark has been “misunderstood”, claiming that he was speaking about his “sacrifices” for the party chief.
“I was trying to say that nine members of my family had been murdered when Lalu ji’s party was in power. The reason was my proximity to Nitish Kumar. Incidentally, Singh, who has himself been with the RJD in the past, is the brother of late Dilip Singh, a minister in the government headed by Lalu Prasad’s wife Rabri Devi. “The party’s state unit has taken note of his remarks and the clarification that he has made.
But I was misunderstood,” said the maverick leader, who often laments that his lack of education comes in the way of articulating his thoughts. When JD national working president Sanjay Kumar Jha was asked about Singh’s “rebellion” and the controversy over the “nine murders” remark, he came up with a guarded response. As of now, I would like to assert that the NDA would win all eight seats of the legislative council and Neeraj Kumar is poised to retain Patna Graduates seat,” said the Rajya Sabha MP.
