Patna, 13/9:The Nitish Kumar government in Bihar was left embarrassed on Tuesday over the reported candid admission of rampant corruption by the state’s Minister for Agriculture Sudhakar Singh.
Singh, whose remarks at a public meeting two days ago have gone viral, dug in his heels even as the BJP, which had been gunning for him till recently, said his averment was an “eye-opener” and the chief minister should come out with a white paper on corruption.
“I stick to what I have said and I seek to make no amendments (sanshodhan). I have been elected by the people towards whom I have a responsibility,” said Singh when he was approached by journalists here in connection with remarks he made at Kaimur two days ago
