JAMMU: Seeking to clarify his Patna-more- murder-prone-than-J&K remarks, Governor Satya Pal Malik Monday said his statement was projected “wrongly” as Bihar has zero tolerance to crime.
Terming Bihar as repository of skill and agriculture under Nitish Kumar, Malik said the chief ministers of other states should follow the development model enacted by their Bihar counterpart.
“Nitish Kumar (Bihar CM) has zero tolerance to crime. Top criminals and Mafiosi have been eliminated by his Government. Nitish does not tolerate even a leader involved in any crime. His track record speaks for itself,” Malik said at Raj Bhawan here.
Governor was replying to a query about his reported remarks that J&K is like any other state and Patna records more murders a day than J&K does. (AGENCIES)
