Narendra Modi Patna University

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Sunday lamented that his fervent request for grant of central status to Patna University two years ago was dismissed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi denying the institution much needed help.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today sidestepped questions about strain in his relations with Prime Minister Narendra Modi after the latter rejected his plea for central university status for Patna University, saying people were free to draw their own conclusions.

An audience of nearly 5,000 witnessed the exchange. And unsubtly, the Bihar Chief Minister was put in his place -again - by his new boss.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's very public request, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's evasive response minutes later at the Patna University function gave their political rivals an opportunity to fire darts at them for failing to deliver on the central university status for Bihar first university.
