It has nothing to do with politics: Nitish Kumar on his presence at RJD's Iftar

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar Saturday said his presence at the Iftar party in RJD leader Rabri Devi's residence here had "nothing to do with politics" and that he had attended it since he was invited.

He said, “We all attend such events. My presence has nothing to do with politics at all. Since I was invited for the event, I attended it. We also hold Iftar parties and invite everyone to it,” he told reporters after paying floral tribute to freedom fighter Veer Kunwar Singh on his birth anniversary here.

Mr. Kumar had on Friday attended a Dawat-e-Iftar organised by Rabri Devi, the former Chief Minister at her 10, Circular Road residence in Patna. His presence there sent ripples in the political circles here as the Leader of Opposition, Tejashwi Yadav and his elder brother, Tej Pratap Yadav were seen sitting beside him.
