Patna: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today came out in support of his Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal and slammed the CBI raid in the CM office by calling it a "breach of decency in the relationship between the Centre and the state government."
"It's a matter of utter surprise. It has breached the decency in the relationship between the Centre and the state government," Mr Kumar told reporters while slamming the NDA government at the Centre for the raid.
"Our federal structure is based on mutual faith and respect for each other. Hence, utmost care should have been taken before taking any such step," Mr Kumar said.
"If there is some accusation on somebody it should be probed. But, if you are going to Chief Minister's office, then did he have prior information about it? Is the accusation related to present post of the person concerned?" Mr Kumar asked.
"Such message is dangerous for democratic and federal structure and nobody can support this," Mr Kumar said.
