"The entire thing of Nitish Kumar tendering resignation was scripted. He is a good actor and has received special training in dramatics. He uses and throws people out. For him, power is like fish without water," Yadav told reporters after meeting BJP President Rajnath Singh at his residence here.

BJP leader Vinay Katiyar also termed as "scripted" the Nitish Kumar resignation issue.
