'Biharis don't have much brains': Tamil Nadu Min's remark at DMK party meet sparks row

'Biharis don't have much brains'

KN Nehru did not seem to mince his words for his apparent disapproval of Centre's system to appoint a mix of recruits from all states and he was seen commenting on issue furr escalating tensions between people of Tamil Nu and migrant labourers from Bihar and UP. In a shocking remark, he claims, 'Biharis don't have much brains, but at Trichy Ponmalai railway workshop, re are more than 4,000 Biharis working re. Similarly, y can be seen as gatekeepers for railway gates all over Tamil Nu,' he said.

KN Nehru while observing that people of Tamil Nu were also equally responsible as y displayed no sign or inclination to undertake jobs and positions with central government, opined at employment drive which was called 'Directing Trichy' which aimed at providing employment to youth of city, where he h promised that over 15,000 people who registered with designated portal will be given jobs according to ir qualifications. 

To all those who registered, a one-week training program from July 23 will be conducted via YouTube through industry experts, where y will train all applicants on how to prepare for an interview and share knowledge. It is expected that more than 150 businesses participated in drive as well as party's meeting.

Employment drive becomes platform for language divide 

Minister of Municipal ministration, Urban and Water Supply continued his attack on labourers and stated that n Railways Minister Lalu Yav was primarily responsible for this predicament. While only 10 % of jobs are allotted for people of or states, it's much higher in Tamil Nu as people don't seem to apply for central government positions, including railways and banks and police force.

'Compared to sourn states, youth of Tamil Nu are on par with those from Kerala in terms of intelligence. refore, people from Tamil Nu should try harder for central government jobs. Karunanidhi once told me to become an MP. I turned down offer saying I did not know Hindi or English. I am sorry now,' he concluded. 

KN Nehru's unnecessary slant on Biharis has caused an uproar in city. Notably, Prasanth Kishore, who strategised for DMK in last state Assembly elections, is also from Bihar.
