He didn’t, so I had to go, “she said in reference to their 2017 split.

The unusual outburst from the Chief Minister came after Tejashwi Yadav, for the second time in a day, brought criminal cases against Kumar in the assembly and also avenged a scathing attack on his father Lalu Yadav during the election campaign.
Tejashwi Yadav mentioned the speech given by the head of Janata Dal (United) in which he had referred to the great family of the supreme Rashtriya Janata Dal, without mentioning them by name, and suggested that it showed Lalu Yadav’s preference for having sons. .
“I hope the prime minister knows that my parents’ youngest son was a girl, born after two children,” said Tejashwi Yadav, whose older brother Tej Pratap Yadav is also a member of the state assembly and his younger sister Rajlaxmi Yadav is married. . in the family of the chairman of the Samajwadi Party, Mulayam Singh Yadav.
“Now we come to the fact that the prime minister has only one child. Could we apply your own criteria and say that he did not have another for fear that it might be a girl?” Mr Yadav said.
The 32-year-old RJD leader, who was participating in the debate on the governor’s speech to the newly formed assembly, expressed dismay that, while it focused on “popular issues” during the elections, the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA ) resorted to personal attacks.
“I was talking about jobs. And I bow to the people of Bihar who voted for us and helped us emerge as the largest party. If it weren’t for the manipulations of docile officials posted in places where highly controversial election results were annulled. , we might have a chance to keep our promises, “Yadav claimed.
“But my opponents had other priorities. One person, none other than the prime minister, took pleasure in insults,” Yadav said, referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rallies, where he used the expression “jungle raj ke yuvraaj” to point to RJD leader.
“I do not like to make sarcastic comments against my elders. This goes against the values that have educated me. I have always addressed the honorable Chief Minister, even in public speeches, as a chacha (uncle),” he said. Mr. Yadav.
“But my point is, is it incumbent on a prime minister to make such statements?” He asked with a rhetorical flourish to which Nitish Kumar responded with an indulgent laugh.
Last month, Nitish Kumar had taken no name in his taunting of the Yadav family about “having eight to nine children in search of a child” at an election rally.
Tejashwi Yadav, the eighth of nine children of former Prime Minister Lalu Yadav and Rabri Devi, tweeted that even Nitish Kumar’s insults were “blessings” to him. Later, he told reporters that the Chief Minister had insulted “the women and my mother’s feelings.”
Nitish Kumar was unusually caustic and, according to his critics, downright personal in his campaign against Tejashwi Yadav for the elections that brought him back to power earlier this month, but his party’s seats were slashed.
