Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was disowning any relationship with Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi. And suddenly, Modi comes up to Kumar and holds up his arm. How did this happen? The real story runs like this. A reporter, who was talking to Modi while the rally was on, asked what Modi was doing. “I am on the stage addressing a rally,” said Modi, adding, “Nitishji is also here with me”. You should hold his arm and wave to the crowd together, the reporter said in jest. Obviously, Modi, who is no fool, saw the possibilities and did exactly that, causing Lalu Prasad to start shouting that Nitish Kumar was in the company of communals.
