Bodh Gaya blasts may push Nitish Kumar to soften stand on NCTC, Bomb blast, serial blast, bodh gaya,bihar cm.

NEW DELHI: The multiple blasts in Bodh Gaya, the first major terror attack at the pilgrimage spot and the rest of Bihar, may push chief minister Nitish Kumar to soften his stand in his opposition to set up anti-terror hub National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC).

Home ministry officials believe that the terror attack on the Mahabodhi temple in Bodh Gayamay force the chief minister to soften his stand as he has to re-look the activities of terrorist groups in Bihar for safety of the state.

"The delay in setting up of NCTC will continue to hamper the government's anti-terror initiatives. The sooner those oppose it realise its importance, the better for the country," an official said.

Kumar has been a strong opponent of the controversial National Counter Terrorism Centre saying the proposed body will hurt country's federal structure if it carries out unilateral operations against terrorists and kept under the ambit of Intelligence Bureau.
