File photo: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar
Hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a huge rally in Bihar's Bhagalpur, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar addressed a press conference in Patna.
Here are the highlights:- Prime Minster Narendra Modi looked a little rattled today, said Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
- Prime Minister had no convincing justification about his package. We have already given a detailed description of how most of his schemes are repackaged.
- We have given a 7 Point programme for Bihar's Development.
- State is contributing 40 per cent in Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana mentioned by Prime Minister today.
- It is the duty of the central government to give us money under the federal structure.
- The prime minister made many contradictory statements in his speech. Most of his claims about Bihar package were hollow.
