BJP leader and former Deputy CM Sushil Kumar Modi said only to tease AICC vice-president Rahul Gandhi, RJD supremo lalu Prasad has supported Nitish Kumar in his bid to be projected as PM probable.
“Nitish could never become Chief Minister on his own. Twice he became CM with the backing of the BJP and now he is enjoying this office with the support of RJD,” commented Modi and asked on what ground he is dreaming to become PM. He added that regional leaders like Mulayam Singh Yadav, Mayawati, Mamata Banerjee and Navin Patnaik were bigger leaders than Nitish who became CM on their own strength.
He said even lalu knows that Nitish can never become PM but just to tease Rahul Gandhi he was playing the politics. Modi said Rahul never liked lalu and did not give him appointment nor allowed him to share dais with him. The Gandhi scion tore the copy of the decision of the UPA government giving any succour to the convicted politicians giving a big blow to RJD chief . “Had lalu not been convicted he would never support Nitish for PM post,” added Modi.
