Patna: Taking a jibe at BJP Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi`s remarks on cattle slaughter in the name of `pink revolution`, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday alleged that most of BJP`s leaders were non-vegetarian.
"I myself is a pure vegetarian. But, I know majority of BJP leaders are non-vegetarians and prefer to kill animals to satisfy their belly," Kumar said in his reaction to Modi`s `pink revolution` remarks.
Kumar said that the BJP leader from Nawada seat Giriraj Singh, is himself a meat lover.
"He was Animal Husbandry minister in my NDA government and I know his love for meat," he said.
During his tenure Singh has encouraged animal husbandry to boost meat supply for non-vegetarians in the state, he said.
Modi had made a caustic comment on the UPA and Bihar governments promoting animal slaughter by `pink revolution` during a rally at Nawada last Wednesday.
The Gujarat Chief Minister had said so in a bid to woo backward yadav caste, engaged in animal rearing, to BJP.
