“If someone level allegations about you that you are indulging in black marketing, the amount would not exceed 1000, 2000 or 4000.  But those who do black marketing worth 4000 crores, what about them? the focus should go towards them,” the Bihar Chief Minister asked.

“If you are doing black marketing then that’s because for seeing your children get education and earn a meal. I don’t think your children’s get their education from abroad ….but there are few who are sending their children to private schools and if you are doing this kind of corruption then I thank you for this as chief minister of the state and I will forgive these small mistakes,” he said.
