New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Giriraj Singh on Monday took a sarcastic dig at Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar who recently formed a new government with the alliance of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) in the state.
Union Minister Giriraj Singh said, "I say it with full responsibility that Nitish Kumar is the first Chief Minister of the nation who took oath eight times but not even once, formed the government on his own."
He further said, "That's why I say, he's not even Chief Minister material, how can he become PM material?"
Meanwhile, the Bihar Cabinet was expanded on August 16 when a total number of 31 leaders of Janata Dal (United) and RJD took the oath.
In the new cabinet, two prominent leaders who are also the sons of former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Yadav have given strong positions. The elder son Tej Pratap Yadav got the state ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change while younger son Tejashwi Yadav have been made Deputy CM.
The state had witnessed a political tussle few days back following the break up of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the state.
