While the entire Opposition is baying for BJP president Amit Shah’s son’s blood, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday feigned ignorance.
“Mujhe iss baat ki jankari nahin hai (I have not read or seen the report),” said Nitish, on the sidelines of his weekly Lok Samwad (public interaction).
When specifically asked whether he was evading a reply as he was running his government with the support of the BJP, Nitish said he had dumped the RJD because of corruption charges levelled against its leaders.
“You media people can conduct a survey throughout Bihar. You will then find how people are happy with the JD(U)-BJP alliance,” said Nitish.
The JD(U) chief walked out of the grand alliance (along with the RJD and the Congress) in Bihar on July 26.
He took oath as chief minister again the following day with the support of the BJP-led NDA.
