Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday slammed BJP MLA Hari Bhushan Thakur Bachol for demanding renaming of Bakhtiyarpur, a city located about 50 km from state capital Patna.

That was the reason that Nalanda University in late 12th century went from our control," said Mr Kumar after winding up his public interaction program "Janata Ke Darbaar Mein Mukhyamantri".

Mr Bachol recently told media-persons in Patna that Bakhtiyarpur should be renamed as "Nitish Nagar".
