Former Lok Janshakti Party president Chirag Paswan on Sunday asserted that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s presence at RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav’s Iftar feast was a proverbial straw in the wind, which could have wide political ramifications.
Mr. Paswan, who now heads a faction of the party headed by his late father Ram Vilas Paswan, also insisted that Mr. Kumar moving to a house other than his official bungalow, for renovation purposes, was “not as simple as it seems”.
“We all get our houses renovated. But when did we last see somebody moving out with all belongings, including cattle?” questioned Mr. Paswan, when asked about Kumar having shifted to 7, Circular Road, adjacent to the CM’s official residence at 1, Anne Marg.
