Patna: Taking a cue from veteran BJP leader LK Advani's comment on Narendra Modi that he is a good event manager, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today wondered if the country needed a leader or an event manager.
"Recently, I saw that Advani said about Narendra Modi that he is a good event manager. Does the country need a leader or an event manager?" he told reporters.
Kumar said this when he was asked about Advani praising BJP's manifesto which has an imprint of its prime ministerial candidate.
Kumar's good rapport with the BJP patriarch is well known. He decided to end ties with BJP after it chose to elevate his arch rival Narendra Modi in place of Advani, say political observers.
Even after the end of the alliance between BJP and JD(U), Kumar had met the BJP veteran warmly at a meeting of the National Development Council at Delhi recently which was prominently captured by cameras.
More recently, in the wake of the controversy over Advani being allotted the Gandhinagar seat instead of Bhopal, Kumar had said the veteran leader had been "caged" in Gandhinagar.
