Nitish takes on Modi

Launching a blistering attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today accused him of not honouring promises made for development of the state.
On a day Modi picked on Kumar on several fronts, the Chief Minister hit back with almost a point-by point rebuttal during a press meet in the course of which he twice played out old clippings of his speeches to counter the Prime Minister's assertions.
Kumar also asked what happened to Modi's promise last year to give special status, special attention and special package to Bihar. "People in Bihar are waiting," he said.

While the Prime Minister today stated that he had earlier spoken about Rs 50,000 crore package for Bihar, Kumar played a video footage of a speech in which Modi had spoken about special package for Bihar without specifying the amount.
Scoffing at the Prime Minister's remark that key ministries at the Centre were being headed by Bihar leaders, Kumar said under Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Defence, External Affairs and Railways were with leaders from Bihar."So, what is he (PM) talking about.
On Modi's remark that he Kuamr had betrayed his mentor George Fernandes, Kumar hit back asking about the present status of BJP veterans like L K Advani, M M Joshi, Jaswant Singh, Yashwant Sinha and C P Thakur. "Where are they today? he asked.
