Union Textile Minister Giriraj Singh categorically said that the criminals do not have any caste.
After he arrived at Jaiprakash Narayan International Airport on Saturday, Singh told newspersons that the criminals do not belong to any caste.
Retorting sharply at the statement of former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and RJD leader Tejaswi Prasad Yadav who had stated that Yadavas in Bihar were selectively being shot, Singh said that the criminals do not have any caste and the crime should not be viewed in a particular frame.
Reacting to the statement of Yadav who had said that the “government was on the wheelchair”, the BJP leader said that the person whom the people put on the wheelchair with a rattle in hand was issuing such irrational statements. Tejaswi Yadav on the majority of the occasion was seen on the wheelchair during the campaign of the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections.
Yadav had alleged that the crime was increasing for which he had blamed the NDA government. He had alleged that the people belonging to the Yadav caste were selectively being targeted in the state.
Referring to the importance of the portfolios allocated to the Ministers from Bihar in the Union Cabinet, Singh said that along with the Agriculture Ministry the Textile portfolio was the second major employment-generating department. Expressing satisfaction at the representation of Bihar in the Union Cabinet, he said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had made 8 ministers from Bihar. Singh said the entire team of the Textile Ministry has arrived here from Delhi to explore the potential of the state. The team would also discuss the possibilities of generating employment in the state.
Singh said that the union government in coordination with the state government would give a new height to Bihar in which the textile ministry would play a major role.
Earlier the Union Minister Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan Singh and Union MSME Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi had stated that those who were indulged in criminal activities will certainly face the wrath. They had said that the crime and the criminals should not be linked with any caste.
