Concerning the recent developments in Bihar politics, Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on January 29 took a sharp jibe at Bihar CM Nitish Kumar who parted ways with the INDIA bloc and ‘Mahagathbandhan’ to form a government with the NDA alliance. He said, “Nitish had called for a meeting of the alliance in Patna. 18 parties were present there. Meetings were held in Bengaluru and Mumbai. In every meeting, Nitish Kumar was present but he did not give any kind of hint. In Bihar, many politicians are meteorologists. Some are “Aaya Kumar, and Gaya Kumar” who give tough competition to chameleons. This is very sad that he left our hand. It is like a betrayal. People of Bihar, at the right time, will answer Nitish Kumar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.”

Reacting on Nitish Kumar Resignation, Owaisi said, “Nitish Kumar, Tejashwi Yadav, PM Modi should apologise to the people of Bihar... All three have betrayed the people of Bihar, especially Nitish Kumar. The term political opportunism will be an understatement, Nitish Kumar has broken all records. I always said Nitish Kumar would go with BJP. I want to ask Tejaswi Yadav how does it feel? He took away four of our MLAs. Does he feel the same pain now? He has been played the same way he played us. Nitish Kumar will just be the face of RSS and Narendra Modi’s governance in Bihar. Tejaswi Yadav and his family have sidelined the people of Bihar and their focus is to only have someone from among them to be the CM. Nitish Kumar wants to be the CM for as long as he lives. BJP just wants everything to themselves, by hook or by crook. The people of Bihar have been betrayed. There is no development in Bihar. Bureaucracy is on the rise in the state. AIMIM always said that political secularism is used to betray Indian Muslims. And now Muslims of Bihar have been betrayed again.”
