Jagdalpur (Bastar): Escalating his attack on Nitish Kumar, Narendra Modi today raked up the issue of Patna blasts to allege that the Bihar Chief Minister was insensitive and had "arrogantly" refused a proper probe into the attack which he claimed was aimed at him and other BJP leaders.
Modi said Kumar was enjoying a "mehfil" (party) when bombs were exploding at his election rally in Patna last week and drew a contrast with Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh, saying he had sensitively handled the situation after naxal attack on a Congress rally earlier this year.
"Such a big thing happened in Patna… He (Kumar) was in a mehfil (bash) in Rajgir and they -- JD(U) leaders -- were enjoying a sumptuous meal. When he was asked about any likely security lapse, he arrogantly dismissed it. There was no mention of any inquiry," the BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate said at an election rally here.
