Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State president Samrat Choudhary on June 19 made a scathing attack on Chief Minister Nitish Kumar by calling him a “puppet”. He made this statement during a function at the party office in which several district-level leaders of the Congress, Janata Dal (United) and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) joined the BJP in his presence.

Mr. Chaudhary said the way the Congress State president informed about the expansion of the Cabinet on Sunday, it is clear that nothing was going well in the Grand Alliance led by Mr. Kumar. He said earlier Nitish Kumar had become irrelevant in the politics of Bihar, now it seems that he has become irrelevant in the Grand Alliance as well.

“After the formation of the Grand Alliance, it is clearly visible that Mr. Kumar has just become a puppet Chief Minister. Democracy has ended in Bihar and now the people of the State should pledge to make Nitish-free Bihar and so that democracy could be established,” Mr. Choudhary said.

On Sunday, Bihar Congress president Akhilesh Prasad Singh announced that soon there would be Cabinet expansion and the Congress will get two more berths. 

The Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council, Mr. Chaudhary, said that during the Emergency, the Congress lathicharged the socialists’ leaders and today the same leaders are sitting in the lap of the Congress.

Mr. Choudhary pointed out that the leaders of the 1974 movement, be it Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav or Nitish Kumar who were considered symbols of the socialist movement, are sitting in the lap of the Congress party.
