The state Congresschairman of its media department Prem Chandra Mishra on July 31 dubbed CM Nitish Kumar's interest in Mithila and its cultural icon Vidyapati as phoney.
The CM on the day visited Vidyapati's birth place Bisfi village in Madhubani district. Mishra alleged that the CM, in fact, had no interest in the promotion of Maithili language. He also said that the Nitish government, in 2007, removed Maithili language and literature from the curriculum of Bihar Secondary Examination Board (BSEB), and placed it as an optional subject.
Dubbing the CM as anti-Maithili, Mishra also said that the government removed Maithili language from the BSEB's curriculum, and in its place included Bangla language. This only reflected the prejudice of the CM towards Maithili language, he added.
