Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi has again waded into a controversy by warning doctors that their “hands would be chopped off” if they didn’t work and discharge their duty honestly.

“Jo gareebo ke saath khelwar karenge unka hum haath kaat lenge (Those who play with the lives of the poor will have their hands chopped off),” Manjhi said this evening while addressing a gathering after inaugurating a six-bed hospital at Pakridayal, 22km east of Motihari town in East Champaran district and 184km northeast of Patna.

The chief minister’s scathing and startling remark came while he was complaining about the absence of doctors employed in government hospitals.

“The chief minister must learn how to select his words while he is making a public statement,” said a JDU leader, insisting that what Manjhi meant was strict action would be taken again errant doctors.

However, the CM clarified his remarks by saying, " They should have knowledge about Hindi idioms, chopping off hands means restricting rights."
