Patna: The Bihar government led by
Nitish Kumar, utilising government funds for school libraries,
purchased books propagating the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)
ideology a rebel Janata Dal-United (JD-U) leader alleged Sunday.
"It is dangerous and alarming because these books only teach
hatred," said Upendra Kushwaha, convenor of the Bihar Nav Nirman
Manch, a new political outfit floated by JD-U rebels.
Books like the biography of RSS founder Keshav Baliram Hedgewar, 'Hinduvta'
and 'Godhra-The Missing Rage' were bought for middle level
government schools, Kushwaha said in a press conference.
"It stunned me that self-proclaimed secular Nitish Kumar...is
helping the RSS to reach out to students," said Kushwaha, whom the
JD-U suspended from the Rajya Sabha.
"We demand that the state government immediately withdraw these
books," he said.
Nitish was bowing down to the RSS for running his government with
support of the Bharatiya Janata Party, Kushwaha said.
