Patna: The upcoming rally in Varanasi by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has ignited a political firestorm, drawing sharp criticism from BJP leaders.
Former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and senior BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi launched a scathing attack on Nitish Kumar, calling him a “fused bulb” that flickers but never burns. He questioned Kumar’s political influence and dared him to contest against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Varanasi.
“Nitish Kumar has failed to ensure victories for his candidates in Madhya Pradesh, highlighting his limited influence beyond Bihar. Akhilesh Yadav is merely staging a charade at his rally in Varanasi. If they have any courage, they should challenge Narendra Modi directly. Arvind Kejriwal tried and failed miserably,” Modi stated.
Adding fuel to the fire, Union Rural Development Minister and Begusarai Lok Sabha MP Giriraj Singh further criticised Nitish Kumar, questioning his credibility and calling him the “creator of the modern-day Kamasutra,” a reference to a controversial incident in the Bihar Assembly involving Kumar’s alleged misogynistic remarks.
“Nitish Kumar has no remaining credibility, and his role in Bihar is non-existent. Public life ended for him the day he disrespected women and established himself as the modern Kamasutra creator,” Singh declared.
Reacting to the BJP’s attacks, RJD MP Manoj Jha defended Nitish Kumar’s right to hold a rally in Varanasi. He questioned the BJP’s ownership claims over the constituency and emphasised that Prime Minister Modi is not guaranteed re-election.
“Is Nitish Kumar committing a crime by visiting Varanasi? Does Modi own the constituency? Representatives serve the people, and their re-election is not guaranteed. Nitish Kumar is the Chief Minister and has the right to visit any part of the country,” Jha stated.
With Nitish Kumar’s Varanasi rally just days away, political tensions are expected to escalate further, with both sides engaging in heated exchanges and accusations. The rally’s outcome and public response will be closely watched to gauge its impact on the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
