Nitish at it again, asks DGP to recruit cops with folded hands

At an event organised here to hand over appointment letters to 1,239 newly recruited police sub-inspectors, Nitish, also the home minister, suddenly turned towards the police chief and asked him with folded hands if he would ensure more recruitments soon.

"The appointment and training of police personnel should be complete before the assembly polls. Only then rigging of polls will be prevented," Nitish said and promised to provide 12 lakh jobs before the elections.
