Lok Janshakti Party leader Chirag Paswan has levelled an attack on Bihar Chief Minister and JDU chief Nitish Kumar in a series of posts on Twitter.
He has said that Kumar is trying to win elections in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's name and by showing the power of the Mahagathbandhan.
He said that Kumar, who opposed PM Modi in 2014 to stall development in the state, is now chasing Modi in order to save his chair and power.
This is not the first time that Chirag, son of former minister late Ram Vilas Paswan - a leading NDA figure from Bihar - has criticised Kumar.
Though part of the alliance at the Centre, Kumar chose and carved a separate path for his party for the Bihar Assembly polls. He has alleged that JDU rule has led to deterioration in the state.
In another post on Twitter, he has said that while Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath was making efforts to bring back people hailing from the state in the wake of Covid, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar said that Bihar has no funds for it.
Paswan added that people hailing from Bihar who were returning to the state on their own were stopped on the state borders.
Widening his attack on Nitish Kumar, Paswan has said that Kumar has not filled even the sanctioned posts and there are neither doctors nor teachers for this reason.
