Patna: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar strongly criticised MNS chief Raj Thackeray for blaming the spread of malaria in Mumbai on migrants and alleged that the latter had made such a remark at the behest of the Congress.
"Thackeray has no control over his language and statement... Thackeray has made such uncalled for and deplorable utterances at the behest of Congress," said Kumar.
Stating that Mumbai was the "not private property of Thackeray," Kumar said the metropolis had been built by contributions from people living across the country.
The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief had said that migrants were responsible for the spread of malaria as they flooded the hospitals leaving no space for patients from the state.
