A key aide of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on July 4 rejected demands for Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav's resignation, following a CBI chargesheet against the RJD leader, and accused the BJP of trying to repeat the Maharashtra episode in the State.
Bihar Minister and senior JD(U) leader Vijay Kumar Chaudhary also taunted the BJP for having demanded the resignation of NCP leader Ajit Pawar, who has now been made a Deputy Chief Minister in Maharashtra.
"Mere chargesheet does not amount to guilt being proved. Moreover, it [CBI] is an agency which faces criticisms for its functioning. The Deputy CM had himself anticipated such action against himself and said the same in public,” Mr. Chaudhary told reporters at the JD(U) office.
