Bihar CM Exclusive: ‘Tejashwi’s Fame a Sham Like His Father’s’

“It is an illusion that Tejaswhi’s rallies pull large crowds,” Nitish Kumar told The Quint.

With the Assembly Elections underway in Bihar, the state’s Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar, on Sunday, 1 November, shared his thoughts on RDJ’s rallies, as well as the Opposition party’s promise of 10 lakh jobs, in an exclusive conversation with The Quint’s Editorial Director Sanjay Pugalia.

On being asked about the popularity of RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav and the huge crowd in his rallies, Nitish Kumar said that RJD’s popularity was a mere illusion. He also took a jibe at his estranged friend Lalu’s apparent popularity in 2005 and 2010.
