PATNA: In a fresh attack on Union home minister Amit Shah, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar on Wednesday said that he gives no importance to the taunts of “forgetting JP’s ideology” by those people whose political career began just 20 years ago, much after the JP movement of 1974.
“The person whose name you are taking, was he in any way connected to JP (Jayaprakash Narayan) or his movement? Was he in any way related with JP’s ideology? His political career began just 20 years ago. Does it make any sense for him to comment on JP? You people get it inquired that in which year he came into politics? I don’t want to give any importance to the remarks of those people whose political career began just 20 year ago. What sort of idea do they (BJP leaders) have about the ideology of JP?” Nitish retorted back when asked about Shah’s recent comment at the Loknayak’s village Sitab Diara that the “disciples of JP sacrificed his ideology, and are now sitting in the lap of the Congress.”
