Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar On Prashant Kishor: Nitish Kumar said, "You people know whether we have done good in Bihar or not. Someone's opinion is not important. What is important is the truth. People know our work."
A day after Prashant Kishor criticised his 15-year rule in Bihar and declared a mission to bring in "new thinking and new effort" to revive the state, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was dismissive of the comments. Prashant Kishor's opinion is "not important", the truth is, he told reporters today.
"You people know whether we have done good in Bihar or not. Someone's opinion is not important. What is important is the truth. People know our work. You all know what work has been done and how much work has been done," Nitish Kumar told the media.
"Since you know, I request you to give the response yourself. When someone says anything, we should respond to the comments but in this case, you can do that yourself, since you know what the reality is," he said.
