Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was in New Delhi on Wednesday, August 16, 2023 to pay tribute to former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on his death anniversary and to meet Opposition leaders.
Mr. Kumar served as a minister in Vajpayee’s cabinet and always praised the former PM for his “inclusive politics”, which has become a point of unfavourable comparison with Prime Minister Modi.
Senior BJP leader from Bihar and Rajya Sabha member Sushil Kumar Modi, alleged that he (Mr. Kumar) was trying to divide the BJP by praising the former PM.
