Atmosphere of conflict being created in society: Nitish

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today said an atmosphere of conflict is being created in the society to divide voters on the lines of caste or religion to fetch votes.

"I have worked under J P (Narayan) and V P Singh. I learnt to work hard from them. I don't care who will vote for me or not. But an atmosphere of conflict is being created in the society to divide voters on caste or religious lines in order to fetch votes," Kumar said.

"I don't care for votes but certainly take care of the voters irrespective of whether he/she would vote for me," the CM said while addressing a function here to observe the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister V P Singh.

Kumar also took exception to the kind of language in use on social media. "A large number of people use social media platform to use such language. How can it be a social media which is so unsocial, as there is no personal interaction at all?"
