Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday attacked the NDA, saying Nitish Kumar will not be made Chief Minister in case the ruling coalition wins Bihar polls, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will give the chair to one of his "disciples".
Kharge, who was addressing a rally at Rajapakar, hit back at BJP leaders over their "jungle raj" jibes at RJD and Congress. He said the Mahagathbandhan will form the government in the state. "You could not end the jungle raj in 20 years?... Despite your abuses, Congress and the RJD are getting elected here... What Nitish Kumar could not do in 20 years of his rule, will he do it today?. Narendra Modi will not make Nitish Kumar the Chief Minister at any cost. Modi will give the position to one of his disciples. Nitish Kumar will be told, 'your work is done, your health is not good, you stay at home'," he said. Kharge continued his jibes at the NDA at a press conference he later addressed in Patna. "There was a road show here yesterday... I saw a lot of photos, with impressive photos (of PM Modi)... I didn't see Nitish with him... Even at the rally, where Nitish was nowhere to be seen... They (BJP) made him disappear to the point where they wouldn't even mention him as Chief Minister. So, this is going on. What will happen after this election? I can't predict, but PM Modi is playing a trick. He's trying to make Nitish Kumar invisible," Kharge said. "Nitish Kumar thinks he's been sworn in as Chief Minister nine times and will be this time too. You may have sworn in a hundred times, yet you haven't done anything for Bihar," he added. (ANI)
