After Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said he "mistakenly" went with the opposition twice, NCP-SCP leader Jitendra Awhad said on Sunday that the JD(U) leader will make that "mistake" again for the third time.
"He will make that mistake for the third time too," Awhad said while speaking to the media. Earlier today, Chief Minister Kumar emphasized his government's commitment to women's empowerment through initiatives like the 'Jeevika Didi' scheme, asserting that his administration has worked for the welfare of all communities. Speaking to the media, CM Nitish took a veiled dig at the opposition and said that he mistakenly gone with them but now he is with his old friends. "What was the condition of women earlier? Since we started the 'Jeevika Didi' scheme - women are happy, and whenever they need help, they are given help...I had mistakenly gone with them (opposition), but now I am with my old friends. Did they (Opposition) do any work for women? We have worked for everyone - be it Hindus, Muslims, upper castes, backward, Dalits or women. People should remember this," he said. On Saturday, Nitish Kumar took a dig at the regime of the Lalu Prasad Yadav-led government, saying that before the Janata Dal (United)-led government was formed in 2005, 'Bihar ki halat kaafi kharab thi.' He said, "We have been continuously working for the development of Bihar," since the people had given a mandate to his party on November 24, 2005. "Since then, we have been continuously working for the development of Bihar... Before the year 2005, Bihar ki halat kaafi kharab thi (the condition of Bihar was really bad). People were afraid to come out of their homes after evening. There was no arrangement for treatment in hospitals, the roads were dilapidated, the condition of education was not good, and often there were reports of religious disputes," said the CM. (ANI)
