Patna, 24th August. Former deputy and senior BJP leader Tarkishore Prasad accused Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Wednesday of losing “political credibility.”
Prasad made the remark while participating in a debate on the new ‘Mahagathbandhan’ government’s motion of confidence.
Prasad mocked Kumar’s “personal ambition to become Prime Minister despite not having the ability to become Chief Minister on his own steam,”
“Personal ambition caused him to ditch BJP in 2013 and again nine years later,” said the BJP leader who also raked up sidelining of leaders like George Fernandes and Sharad Yadav by Nitish Kumar to make his point, drawing angry response from JD(U) members.
“He remains the CM though his deputy keeps changing. He is like a batsman who causes others to get run out to remain on the pitch. RJD should remember that its president Lalu Prasad had compared him to a snake that sheds its skin,” alleged the senior BJP leader.
Tarkishore Prasad also claimed that “jungle raj” has returned to Bihar, where crime has increased since the RJD reclaimed power, and wondered whether allegations of corruption against the party’s top leaders “no longer matter.”
Prasad taunted Nitish Kumar for JD(U)’s drubbing in 2014 Lok Sabha elections and claimed that the party’s tally shot up to 16 in the state five years later “only because of Prime Minister Narendra Modi”.
“He wants to become PM though it may be his last innings as CM. He has lost political credibility,” Tarkishore Prasad added.
