PATNA: The ongoing rift between JD(U) and RJD, the two leading allies of the seven -party Mahagathbandhan, came into open on Tuesday after JD(U) spokesperson and MLC Neeraj Kumar came out with a new slogan ‘Shikshit Kumar – Shikshit Bihar’ in response to the Bihar education minister and RJD leader Dr Chandra Shekhar’s recent slogan of ‘Shikshit Bihar - Tejashwi Bihar.’
The education minister, who is already in controversy due to his recent remarks on certain stanzas of Ramcharitmanas, on Monday came out with a new phrase ‘Shikshit Bihar – Tejashwi Bihar’ (Educated Bihar – Radiant Bihar). The minister posted the ‘Tejashwi Bihar’ phrase on his verified Twitter handle while tweeting news of the education department.
