Patna: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today accused BJP of having an ulterior motive behind declassification of files related to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, saying it wants "conflict" between different streams of ideology during the freedom struggle to come to the fore.
"BJP, which has nothing to do with the struggle for Independence, by declassifying files related to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose is basically making an effort to create conflict between different streams of ideology in the struggle for country's Independence," Mr Kumar told reporters in Patna.
He said freedom fighters fought against the Britishers with different ideologies.
"The BJP whose leaders had no role in the Independence movement are basically interested in creating 'conflict' between different ideologies for political gains," Mr Kumar, a known detractor of the prime minister, said.
