Clarification

The report ‘‘Bihar BJP, Samata struck it rich’’, published in The Indian Express on August 23, mentioned that among the petrol pump allotment beneficiaries was a grandson of Bihar Samata executive member Umakant Prasad Choudhary.

Mr Chaudhary has clarified that there is no petrol pump agency in the name of either Mr Choudhary or any member of his family, including his grandson. The error is deeply regretted.
