PM misleading people, says Nitish Kumar
Patna: Accusing Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of adopting 'hit-and-run' tactics and misleading people about central assistance to Bihar, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today dared him for an open debate on these issues.
"I fully respect Manmohan Singh as PM and also leader of the country, though it is a different matter that the former treats another person (Sonia Gandhi) as his leader," Kumar sarcastically remarked, while taking a swipe at Singh for his statement yesterday on central assistance to the state.
The chief minister was addressing a press conference jointly with senior BJP leader and leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley.
Referring to Singh's charge that the the NDA government had failed to discharge its responsibilities for utilisation of the assistance worth Rs 1000 crore provided by the Centre since 2004, Chief Minister said, 'there is no substance in it'.
