Patna | Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday responding to BJP leader and Begusarai MP Giriraj Singh’s jibe on his Iftar party said that people like Giriraj only speak to remain in the headlines.
Nitish Kumar when asked about Giriraj’s tweet while addressing reporters said,” Some people speak in such a manner that you (Media) can make news out of their statements. Earlier taking a jibe at the Iftar Party organised by Nitish Kumar, Singh wrote a tweet in Hindi which translates to “How beautiful the pictures would have been if fruit only feasts were organised during Navratri with similar affection? Why do we fall behind when it comes to our own practices and religion and ahead in showoff?”
कितनी खूबसूरत तस्वीर होती जब इतनी ही चाहत से नवरात्रि पे फलाहार का आयोजन करते और सुंदर सुदंर फ़ोटो आते??…अपने कर्म धर्म मे हम पिछड़ क्यों जाते और दिखावा में आगे रहते है??? pic.twitter.com/dy7s1UgBgy
