Lauding the developmental work undertaken by Nitish Kumar in Bihar,Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray on Saturday took a dig at his estranged nephew MNS President Raj Thackeray for opposing Kumars visit to the city and then back-tracking.

The role of the natwarya (veteran actor) to first oppose and then not to oppose has been exposed. The delicious vada (a local snack) has become rabdi (a sweet dish), he said in an editorial in party mouthpiece Saamana.

Votebank politics hinges on nautanki (drama) and tamasha,he said,taking potshots at Raj for his flip-flop over Kumars visit to Mumbai to take part in Bihar Day celebrations.

That is why we said we will speak on Bihar Day only after others reveal their stand, the Sena chief said in an apparent reference to MNS.

Praising Kumar for his work,the Sena patriarch said,Due to the fabulous leadership a backward region engulfed in casteism,is on the road to development.
