Union home minister Amit Shah on Thursday lashed out at Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar in Bihar’s Lakhisarai district, calling him a ‘Paltu Babu’
Shah said, “Paltu babu Nitish Kumar was asking what was done (by the Centre) in nine years. At least have some regard for those with whom you sat and due to whom you became the Chief Minister. A lot of work was done by PM Modi across the country in these nine years.”
He also asked former ally Kumar to explain what he has done for Bihar. “He has merely changed his alliance partners.”
Further lashing out at the chief minister, Shah said, “Can a leader who changes house again & again be trusted? Should the reins of Bihar be given in the hands of such a man? He too knows it. That is why, he is sitting in front of Congress’ house to be the PM of the country. He doesn’t want to be the PM, he is just fooling Lalu Yadav at this age. He wants to stay here in Bihar and has gathered all rivals of BJP.”
