BJP has put Advani in cold storage: Nitish Kumar
Former Bihar chief minister
Nitish Kumar Saturday criticised the BJP for putting its senior leader
L.K. Advani in "cold storage".
"The BJP in new avatar has put
Advani in cold storage by placing him in 'margdarshan mandal'," Nitish
Kumar said at a party meeting to celebrate the birth anniversary of
socialist icon Karpoori Thakur here.
His comments came after BJP
president Amit Shah blamed him for the return of "jungle raj" in the
state as the Janata Dal-United leader has joined hands with RJD chief
Lalu Prasad.
"The BJP's propaganda machinery is so much strong
that even a lie is turned into a truth. Beware of it. This was the
principal of (former German ruler Adolf) Hitler also," he said.
In
a reply to Shah, Nitish Kumar said what is bad if I was dreaming to
become the prime minister of the country. "Is it a sin to dream to
become the prime minister, after all I also belong to backward caste."
