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.”
