Senior BJP leader Sushil Modi lambasted Nitish Kumar for creating a competitive environment, "Nitish Kumar created a kind of competition environment since Amit Shah is going to Seemanchal on 11th to pay homage on the birth anniversary of JP Jayaprakash, then on his death anniversary, 2 days prior, he went to Sitab Diara and gave a speech. He did all this by laying the foundation stone so that he would get credit", Sushil Modi added.

He further added that JP Jayaprakash Narayan had a dream that a new Bihar would be created in which corruption would be eradicated. But Nitish Kumar went with those who were convicted on corruption charges and have been to jail and against whom the CBI is filing a chargesheet, Nitish Kumar has stood in support of them.

He reiterated BJP's dream of a corruption-free Bihar and said that the slogan was corruption-free Bihar and said that Nitish Kumar did the exact opposite by supporting the corrupt people. (ANI)
