Patna: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has countered Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren's comments about Bhojpuri and Magahi languages. Nitish Kumar said that the people of both the states have unwavering love and reverence for each other but don't know why political people speak about such things. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said that the people of Bihar have love and respect for the people of Jharkhand and vice versa. He added that both states were together as part of Bihar before Jharkhand becoming a separate state in 2000. However, even today, there is no separation of any kind between Jharkhand and Bihar.

The Bihar CM said that people speaking a particular language live everywhere within the country. He added that the language of Bihar is spoken in UP.

He further said that one should think before speaking about any language. This kind of statement is not right in my understanding, but everyone has their own wish. Don't know, maybe he (Hemant Soren) is going to get some benefits from this, so he may keep taking advantage. We don't think of such things at all. We all have a feeling of love and respect for Jharkhand.
Earlier, during an interview, Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren had said that people who speak Bhojpuri and Magahi are dominating by nature. He said that in undivided Bihar, those who did wrong things with the women of Jharkhand used to speak these languages. During the movement for Jharkhand statehood, abuses were hurled in Bhojpuri. He said that these two languages have nothing to do with the movement of Jharkhand and they are the languages of Bihar.
