Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State president Samrat Choudhary on June 19 made a scathing attack on Chief Minister Nitish Kumar by calling him a “puppet”. He made this statement during a function at the party office in which several district-level leaders of the Congress, Janata Dal (United) and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) joined the BJP in his presence.
Mr. Chaudhary said the way the Congress State president informed about the expansion of the Cabinet on Sunday, it is clear that nothing was going well in the Grand Alliance led by Mr. Kumar. He said earlier Nitish Kumar had become irrelevant in the politics of Bihar, now it seems that he has become irrelevant in the Grand Alliance as well.
