BJP on Sunday alleged that former Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was taking revenge on Bihar by pushing it on the path of destruction to settle score for getting massive drubbing in the last general elections.
“Kumar has punished Bihar by pushing it on the path of destruction in order to teach the people a lesson for handing out a massive drubbing to the ruling JD(U) in the general elections held earlier this year,” former Deputy Chief Minister and BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi said in a statement.
A cursory look at the happenings over the past 15 months, like the JD(U)’s alliance with the RJD, Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi’s controversial remarks on various issues, spate in crime and growing cases of extortion demands pointed to the return of ‘jungle raj’, he said.
“If an individual has to be held responsible for the prevailing misrule in Bihar, it’s Nitish as he conveniently forgot his own critical views about the RJD and Congress and went back to these parties to seek support to the fledgling JD(U) Government post-split with the NDA last year,” Modi said.
