Escalating his war of words with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kunar on Tuesday slammed him for not delivering the promises which he made during 2014 Lok Sabha polls and misleading the people of Bihar by repackaging old schemes of the state government and including it in the recently announced special package for the state.
In a series of tweets, the Bihar Chief Minister asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to “stop the rhetoric (and) chest thumping”, and deliver the promises he made to the people of his state ahead of the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.
“Show moral courage. Accept inefficiencies in delivering on old promises,” the Janata Dal-United leader said in one of his tweets, ahead of Modi’s election rally in Bhagalpur.
“Respect the sentiments of the people of Bihar who have been troubled by your unkept promises and unsavoury comments,” he said.
Asking Modi to take back “derogatory words” made by him in his earlier speeches, he said, “Deliver your promise of special status to Bihar. Don’t mislead with so-called package where 86 percent is repackaged old schemes.
“Live up to your 2014 election promise of decriminalization and announce (that) no ticket (will be given) to candidates with criminal background,” Kumar tweeted.
