Patna: Former Bihar Prime Minister Rabri Devi launched a fierce attack on Nitish Kumar’s government in the state on Thursday for exempting the film ‘The Kashmir Files’ from entertainment tax and said watching the film “does not fill people’s stomachs”. ‘
Talking to reporters outside the Legislative Council, Rabri Devi also took a jibe at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) with remarks that films should be made on the riots in Gujarat after the Godhra train fire.
“They’re making a tax-free movie. People’s stomachs don’t fill up watching the movie. It does not employ unemployed people. The government in power considers that it has fulfilled all its obligations by distributing a few kilograms of cereals within the framework of social schemes.
