RJD,arch rival of JD(U) in Bihar,today accused Chief Minister Nitish Kumar of being a “puppet” in the hands of L K Advani and playing the politics of misleading the Muslims.

“In the internal quarrels in the top leadership of BJP on the leadership issue,Nitish is a puppet in the hands of Advani….,” RJD general secretary Vijay Krishna said,adding “only communal can protect the communal”.

“How can anyone in the company of those associated with the Sangh Parivar not communal?” he said alleging that Bihar chief minister was resorting to politics of misleading the Muslims.

A friend-turned-foe of Nitish,Krishna dismissed suggestions that the Bihar chief minister’s targetting Narendra Modi was aimed at upholding the principles of secularism.

On the other hand,he held Nitish responsible for the revival of the BJP in the North.

Krishna,who is the chief spokesman of RJD,wondered as to why Nitish Kumar had not gone for on-the spot inspection of the site at Godhra in 2002 despite being the Railway Minister at that time.

“While Ram Vilas Paswan had sometime after the incident had resigned as the Union Minister,why has Kumar suddenly remembered the issue of secularism now?” he asked.
