Opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav, often ridiculed as “mentally and physically tired,” Bihar’s Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, campaigning for next week’s state elections, responded today to his 31-year-old adversary with some questions. unusual.
“He’s doing so well … saying such nice things about me. He says I’m tired,” the Chief Minister commented sarcastically at a rally.

Where did you stay when you were in Delhi? “Nitish Kumar questioned, apparently referring to Tejashwi Yadav’s long absence from Bihar after his Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) party and the opposition alliance collapsed in last year’s national elections.

If you don’t want to vote for me, then no … The reason you came here … you will destroy the votes of the man you’re here for, “he yelled.
Tejashwi Yadav, who claims that large crowds at his rallies show public anger against Nitish Kumar, responded to the outburst and said: “Again I am saying that Nitish Kumar is tired and cannot handle the state. Mentally and physically he is tired of managing the state. .. “
