'Regional parties have got stronger after challenges': Bihar finance minister Vijay Choudhary

PATNA: Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar’s close aide and finance minister Vijay Kumar Choudhary on Sunday took a dig at BJP chief JP Nadda for his remark over regional parties saying the more the BJP leaders speak against them, the more they will get stronger.

Talking to the media persons after paying floral tributes to veteran socialist leader Jaiprakash Narayan on his death anniversary, Choudhary said Nadda had been in the habit of paying scant regards to the regional parties, but the country also knows whenever their existence had been challenged, the regional parties have emerged stronger.

“He (Nadda) hasn’t made such observations for the first time. But the country has also seen each time such things were said, the regional parties stood stronger,” Choudhary told the media.
