In 2013, former Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his Janata Dal (United) split from the BJP. Two years later, he joined hands with arch-rival Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Congress to form the mahagathbandhan (grand alliance). In 2017, he left the mahagathbandhan and returned to the BJP.
Soon after Nitish Kumar, broke up with former ally BJP, and joined hands with Lalu Yadav’s RJD, an old tweet of the RJD patriarch is making rounds on the internet.
In the tweet, the RJD founder called the JDU chief a snake. The tweet said, “Nitish is a snake, just like a snake sheds its derm, so Nitish also sheds its derm and wears a new leather like a snake every two years. Doubt anyone?.”
नीतीश सांप है जैसे सांप केंचुल छोड़ता है वैसे ही नीतीश भी केंचुल छोड़ता है और हर 2 साल में साँप की तरह नया चमड़ा धारण कर लेता है।किसी को शक?
