Patna, Bihar:
Bihar’s Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who has lost his cool more than once while campaigning for state elections in recent days, was targeted by his former Chief Deputy Minister Tejashwi Yadav this morning in his latest tweet. The RJD leader’s mockery on social media came a day after Nitish Kumar attacked Tejashwi Yadav and his father, Lalu Prasad Yadav, at a rally in Begusarai when he said: “Ask your father or mother if they (the Yadav’s parents) built schools or universities when they had the opportunity … or continued to make ill-gotten gains.
This morning, Tejashwi Yadav responded by saying: “The respected Nitish ji is tired. The public is fed up with his stale, boring and old speeches.”
“Nitish Kumar Hee, who is tired, flees from realities and rationalities. After ruining the future of millions of young people in Bihar, he is now turning the pages of the past, “he wrote in a Hindi tweet.
Nitish Kumar on Saturday accused former Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav of ignoring the development of the state during his latest outburst when he said: “Other people had the opportunity to rule. What did they do? Was a school or university built? If you want to study Today, ask your father or mother? Is there a school? Was a university built all this time? “Nitish Kumar asked the people gathered at a meeting in the Teghra constituency.
The reference to “father or mother” was to Tejashwi Yadav’s parents, former Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav, who is currently in jail for a corruption scam, and to Rabri Devi, a two-time Chief Minister whom Nitish Kumar seemed to dismiss as an installed puppet. by Lalu Yadav after his incarceration.
Last week, Bihar’s chief minister, who is seeking a fourth term, reacted angrily to the slogans of “Lalu Yadav Zindabad” in his rally.
“What are you saying? What are you saying?” shouted an irate Nitish Kumar in the middle of being thrown by Chandrika Rai, a longtime RJD leader and aide to Lalu Yadav who recently passed over to ruler Janata Dal United.
Meanwhile, Tejashwi Yadav has been using social media to draw attention to the large crowds who attend his rallies. Last night, he posted a video in which he said: “We are determined that those who stay away from their homes, feeling suffocated, get new opportunities in Bihar so that they can live happier lives.”
Bihar votes for its next government in three phases, starting Wednesday. The results will be announced on November 10.
