With the Railways blaming the Bihar government for the train disaster at Dhamara Ghat in Khagaria district which claimed 28 lives, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today dubbed Railway minister of state Adhir Ranjan Chaudhury's remarks in this regard as "highly irresponsible."

"From the newspaper report his statement in this regard appears highly irresponsible," Kumar said. "By giving such comments he has made a fool of himself," Kumar said, in angry response to the minister's remarks.
