Union minister Nityanand Rai slams Telangana CM-designate over 'Bihar DNA' remark
Patna, Dec 7: Union Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai slammed Telangana CM-designate Revanth Reddy for his alleged 'Bihar-DNA' remark and described it as "an insult to the people of the state".
In a statement, Rai, the MP from Ujiarpur in the state, on Wednesday said, "Reddy's 'Bihar DNA' remark exposes the mindset of Congress leaders, who are trying to create a divide in society in the name of caste and creed".
"Reddy's comment is an insult to the people of the state. The grand alliance government in the state has the support of Congress whose leaders make such comments against the people of Bihar," Rai said.
People of Bihar will not forgive Congress leaders in the coming Lok Sabha polls, he added.
According to reports, Reddy during an interaction with journalists had reportedly said that the first CM of Telangana, K Chandrashekhar Rao, has 'Bihari genes' and indicated that he was a better choice for the state than KCR.
"My DNA is Telangana. KCR's DNA is Bihar. He belongs to Bihar. KCR's caste is Kurmi. They migrated from Bihar to Vijayanagaram and from there to Telangana. Telangana DNA is better than Bihar DNA," he had allegedly said.

TMC will be voted back to power in Bengal: Tejashwi Yadav
Patna (PTI): Leader of Opposition in Bihar assembly, Tejashwi Yadav, on Tuesday exuded confidence that the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC will again be voted to power in West Bengal.
Yadav returned to Patna after a four-day poll campaign in West Bengal.
“The atmosphere there is euphoric and people want to bring Didi (Mamata Banerjee) back to power. I am fully confident that the TMC will win the election,” he told reporters here.
He said that a large number of people from Bihar living in West Bengal share a lot of love and respect for Mamata Banerjee.
Responding to BJP’s allegations that the TMC had “ruined” West Bengal during its tenure, the RJD leader said the “entire country has been ruined under the Narendra Modi-led government”.
“I want to ask one question to Modi ji – you have been prime minister for more than 11 years, tell me one thing you have done for Bengal,” Yadav said.
The first phase of elections to the 294-member West Bengal assembly was held on April 23, while the second phase will take place on April 29. Votes will be counted on May 4.
