Downplaying Nitish Kumar’s challenge of having a ‘Sangh-free’ India, the Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday said that the Bihar Chief Minister did not have the mettle to carry out such a plot and asserted that the Bihar Chief Minister’s attempts at uniting anti-BJP forces would soon fizzle out.
“Does Nitish want the same Congress, which ruled the nation for 55 years and destroyed it, to come back to power? Narendra Modi has not even completed two years in the country and he cannot digest him already. This is a Prime Minister who is endeavouring to ensure that electricity reaches every village, who initiated schemes to construct functional bathrooms in every house, who is trying to construct roads in every village,” BJP leader Sushil Modi said here.
Accusing Nitish of being a Chief Minister who has absolutely no legs to stand on, Mr. Modi added that the former rode on the shoulders of the BJP and the RJD chief Lalu Prasad for his own convenience, to secure the top post. “Leaders like Mulayam, Mamata, and Jayalalithaa are more powerful than Nitish as they stood on their own two feet to become Chief Minister’s,” he said. Asserting that the Prime Minister’s work in two years has been exemplary, Mr. Modi added that no amount of plotting and scheming will dent his work and that he will sweep the 2019 - ANI
