At a rally in Harlakhi in Madhubani, Nitish Kumar was talking about providing jobs when onions came flying at him but did not hit the JDU leader.
“Khub feko, khub feko, khube feko (keep throwing),” said the anguished Chief Minister, who has been seeking re-election as chief minister of the state.
“Let him go, don’t pay any attention to him,” said Nitish Kumar, when the attacker was apparently caught by security personnel.
Resuming his speech, Nitish Kumar targetted Tejashwi Yadav over his jobs promise. “How can (Tejashwi Yadav) promise 10 lakh government jobs when Lalu Yadav could not provide jobs to people in 15 years of RJD rule? In 15 years, they only gave 95,000 jobs compared to six lakh government jobs given in our rule,” said Nitish Kumar.
