BJP has projected Modi as PM,Nitish Kumar’s dreams dashed: RJD

Yadav said the projection of Modi has ‘poured cold water’ on Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s dreams of becoming Prime Minister.

“Nitish Kumar had stage-managed praise at national and international levels and was dreaming of becoming PM on the crutches of BJP and RSS. Modi has dealt a blow to Kumar’s ambition… He is now saying he is not in the race,” he said.

Yadav accused Kumar of being ‘double-faced’ for reacting sharply to an advertisement featuring him with Modi and returning flood-relief fund given by Gujarat last year. But the party is silent on why its ministers went to Ahmedabad to extend support to the Gujarat chief minister.

He said Bihar ministers like Ashwini Kumar Choubey,Prem Kumar and Giriraj Singh openly supported Modi’s fast and Kumar should have shown his secular image by taking action against them.

“Why is he (Kumar) silent over the issue? Mr Clean and Mr Secular (Kumar) owes an explanation on this,” he added.
