Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on August 11 slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his statement in Parliament terming the Opposition block I.N.D.I.A. as “ghamandia (arrogant)”. The Bihar CM claimed that in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will be finished.
Mr. Modi in Parliament on August 10 had also accused the Opposition of refusing to discuss Manipur separately for their own political ends despite the offer made by Home Minister Amit Shah.
“In 2024 Lok Sabha poll, the BJP will be finished from Bihar and that is why they are in panic. They only do propaganda now no development work is being done. Many political parties have moved forward after the Opposition unity started from Patna. All the political parties together will decide how to develop the country further. When we are uniting, they are facing problems,” Mr. Kumar said while speaking to reporters on the occasion of Martyr’s Day which is observed to pay homage to the sacrifice given by seven martyrs on 11th August 1942.
