Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Bihar president Samrat Choudhary, and Leader of the Opposition in the Bihar Assembly Vijay Kumar Sinha, on Thursday took a dig at Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar at a time when the Indian National Developmental, Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) Opposition grouping is meeting in Mumbai.
Both leaders claimed that Mr. Kumar’s “illusion of becoming the Prime Minister” was going to shatter. Mocking the Bihar CM, Mr. Choudhary said that he may be appointed the convener of one or two tolas (hamlets).
“Nitish Kumar was under the illusion that he would become the Prime Minister of the country. His illusion will be shattered. The leaders of the INDIA alliance will neither declare Nitish Kumar as the prime ministerial candidate nor would he be appointed the convener of the alliance. There is a possibility that he may be appointed convener of one or two tolas,” Mr. Choudhary said.
