Nitish Kumar claimed that he ‘suggested a different name’ for INDIA alliance but Opposition leaders gave another name, and he doesn’t care about them any longer.
After swearing in for the ninth time with the support of the Bharatiya Janata Party, Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar on Wednesday claimed that he “suggested a different name” for the INDIA alliance but their leaders gave another name. “Humko kya matlab? (I don’t care about them) They did nothing on seat sharing despite my repeated requests,” Kumar said.
Expressing his dissatisfaction with the INDIA bloc’s working, Kumar said, “I was trying so hard. They did not do even one thing. Till today they haven’t decided which party will contest how many seats. This is why I left them and returned to who I was with initially. I will keep working for the people of Bihar.”
He further called his former deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav a “kid”. “He doesn’t know how much work JDU has done for the state,” the Bihar CM said.
On being asked about Rahul Gandhi and if he thinks the Congress leader was trying to steal credit for the Bihar caste census, Nitish said, “Has he forgotten when the caste census happened? I conducted it in the presence of 9 parties. In 2019-2020, I would talk about conducting caste census everywhere, from assemblies to public meetings. He is taking fake credit, what can I do? Let it be.”
