Nitish Kumar slams PM Modi over his statement in Parliament

Chief Minister Nitish Kumar slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his statement in Parliament terming the Opposition block I.N.D.I.A. as “ghamandia (arrogant)”.

Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on August 11 slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his statement in Parliament terming the Opposition block I.N.D.I.A. as “ghamandia (arrogant)”. The Bihar CM claimed that in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will be finished. 

Mr. Modi in Parliament on August 10 had also accused the Opposition of refusing to discuss Manipur separately for their own political ends despite the offer made by Home Minister Amit Shah.

“In 2024 Lok Sabha poll, the BJP will be finished from Bihar and that is why they are in panic. They only do propaganda now no development work is being done. Many political parties have moved forward after the Opposition unity started from Patna. All the political parties together will decide how to develop the country further. When we are uniting, they are facing problems,” Mr. Kumar said while speaking to reporters on the occasion of Martyr’s Day which is observed to pay homage to the sacrifice given by seven martyrs on 11th August 1942. 

He accused the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for controlling the media, alleging that the Central government does not allow the Opposition voices to be heard on television nor allow them to get their words printed in the newspaper. Mr. Kumar pointed out that during the regime of Atal Bihar Vajpayee, the government used to answer the question but now only one-sided things are published in the media.

Continuing his blistering attack over Manipur, Mr. Kumar said that incidents are happening everywhere but no statement comes from the government and they speak whatever they like in their own way. He stated that the Central government should be working but the work is not being done.

“The Parliament proceeding goes on yet they remain silent, earlier this never happened when we were in the house,” Mr. Kumar added.

Asked about Central leaders taking the credit of doing work in Bihar, Mr. Kumar stressed that whatever work was done in Bihar, he has done it all. He reiterated that If Bihar would have got the special category status, then it would have developed a lot.
