Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar slams the decision made by Uttar Pradesh government to bring back Kota stranded students amid coronavirus lockdown. On Friday, April 17, 2020 300 buses set out of UP to Rajasthan’s Kota to bring back stranded students.

Nitish called it “injustice towards stranded migrant labourers” as they are not being allowed to move back to their homes situated in other cities and also against the nationwide lockdown.

“Students studying in Kota come from well-to-do families and most of them live with their families in Kota. What is the urgent need to get them home while all these migrant labourers from Bihar are stranded for weeks,” asked Nitish Kumar in an apparent attack on Yogi Adityanath government decision.

Nitish Kumar further adds, “Getting the students back home during the lockdown is injustice towards the labourers. It is also violation of the lockdown. When the labourers moved from Delhi in March that was also a violation of the lockdown.”

In a statement issued by Chief Minister’s Office, Nitish Kumar assured that the government of Bihar was in touch with their counterparts to provide all possible relief to students and daily wagers stranded in their state.

Bihar CM also called on students and workers from Bihar who are trapped anywhere outside the state during the lockdown to stay in place because their movements can further spread the coronavirus.
