Patna: In the past, while praising Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, PM Narendra Modi called him a true socialist, then Nitish also appeared giddy after hearing this praise. After his weekly Janata Darbar on Monday, when the media asked him questions about the PM's praise, Nitish Kumar echoed the PM's tone and in gestures attacked RJD supremo Lalu Prasad on the issue of familyism.
While attacking Lalu, Nitish Kumar said that some people call their family family as family and when this happens, socialism ends. Nitish Kumar said- 'What the PM has said is absolutely correct. Some people are not giving prestige to their party people. Giving prestige only to your family members, then how did you become a socialist? Somebody did something to his wife and boy. Is this socialism?' As soon as Nitish attacked the Lalu family on the issue of familyism raised by the PM, his younger son and Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav came forward to retaliate.
Responding to CM Nitish, Tejashwi counted the names of many such ministers in the Nitish cabinet, whose father or relatives have been in politics. Tejashwi counted the names of 8 ministers in the current government. Among them Ashok Choudhary, Sunil Kumar, Jayant Raj, Samrat Chaudhary, Lacey Singh, Sumit Singh, Santosh Suman Manjhi and Nitin Naveen whose fathers or relatives have lived in politics. Tejashwi Yadav attacked Nitish and said- 'If Nitish Kumar finds familyism dangerous, then he should sack these ministers of his government. It was a matter of duplicity.
