Amit Shah ridiculed Mr. Kumar for backstabbing BJP and other leaders from time to time for the sake of only saving his chair
After Chief Minister Nitish Kumar-led Janata Dal-United snapped ties with BJP in August this year, Union Home Minister and senior BJP leader Amit Shah reached Purnia district in Seemanchal (bordering) area of north-east Bihar on September 23, 2022 and slammed heavily to the duo of Nitish Kumar and Lalu Prasad.
In his address to the Jan Bhawna (people’s emotion) public meeting at Rangbhumi Maidan (ground) of Purnia town, Mr. Shah attacked both Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav. He also ridiculed Mr. Kumar for backstabbing BJP and other leaders from time to time for the sake of only saving his chair (of chief minister).
“You backstabbed BJP to nurse your dream of becoming Prime Minister but Nitish babu you cannot become PM through these tricky politics”, Mr Shah said while, the crowd cheered.
“After betraying BJP, Nitish babu went on to sit in the lap of Lalu Prasad but I wish to tell you Lalu ji that Nitish Kumar will betray you again and go with Congress Party to fulfill his dream of becoming PM. He (Nitish Kumar) can go anywhere for power. His only policy is that his chair should be protected anyhow”, said Mr Shah and asked the gathered crowd “could Nitish Kumar become PM?”.
“It was PM Modi’s large heart that BJP offered you to become Chief Minister of the State despite lesser number of seats your party had got in last assembly poll but in the upcoming 2024 Parliamentary poll the pair of Nitish-Lalu will be finished and in 2025 BJP will form the government on its own in Bihar”, said the Union Home Minister.
Mr Shah also listed names of those leaders whom Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had betrayed earlier and said “betrayal has become Nitish Kumar’s habit and who will believe him now”.
Mr Shah also reminded people about multi crore fodder scam in which Mr Prasad is convicted; jungle raj of Lalu era, caste wars and asked the gathered crowd: “do you want this government again?”. “Laluji what was happening during your regime everyone knows it”, he added.
