Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) chief Chirag Paswan on Thursday termed Nitish Kumar as "greedy", said “ he would befriend anyone to remain in power" and thus the "most corrupt Chief Minister" Bihar has ever seen.
These remarks from Paswan, on Janata Dal (United) (JDU) supremo Nitish Kumar came after the speculation got around that Kumar is willing to join Tejashwi Yadav’s Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), a fierce rival of JDU if a situation like this becomes imminent for Kumar to win the Chief Minister seat.
"He (Nitish Kumar) is the most greedy person and will do anything to remain in power. He used to stand with folded hands in front of PM Narendra Modi in political rallies. He can even go to Ranchi to meet Laluji or meet Tejashwi Yadav to save his chair," Paswan said while interacting with the media here.
Chirag Paswan said: "I am quite confident about BJP and LJP. We will form the government after November 10."
"Situation in Bihar has been worsened only due to Nitish Kumar. If a single vote goes to Nitish Kumar, it will impair the future of Bihar," Paswan said.
"I am continuously asking him to provide details of his work done in the last five years but he is attacking me personally. The corruption during his tenure has spiked sharply. He failed to execute works in Seemanchal area. He has failed to address flood situation in North Bihar," he added.
"Nitish has implemented a liquor ban in Bihar but unable to prevent smuggling. I strongly believe that he is hand in gloves with the liquor mafia, who are openly running their business in Bihar," Paswan said.
The LJP chief said: "The undercurrent in Bihar is going against Nitish's party. He will vacate 1, Anne Marg Bangalow, the official residence of Bihar CM, soon."
The third and final phase of the Assembly election for 78 seats in 15 districts is scheduled to be held on November 7 and the results will be announced on November 10.
