Bihar PCC president Anil Kumar Sharma said the Nitish Kumar government has failed to initiate adequate measures against the ultras killing innocent persons in rural parts of the state.

The chief minister should provide compensation and a government job to one member of the family of each person killed by the Naxalites, he said.

Sharma also charged the state government with not utilising the central fund made available to the state to counter the naxal menace.
