Bihar assembly witnessed a bitter exchange between Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his former deputy-turned-rival Tejashwi Yadav today. When Mr Kumar rose to speak in the assembly about the development work done by the NDA government, Mr Yadav interrupted his speech.
"What was there in Bihar earlier? It was I who made your (Tejashwi Yadav) father what he became. Even the people from your caste were asking me why I was doing this, but I still supported him," the Chief Minister hit back.
Amid a huge uproar by the opposition led by Tejashwi Yadav, Mr Kumar continued, "You don't know anything. When Lalu Yadav was opposing the separation of Extremely Backward Classes and Backward Classes in Bihar. I said it was wrong, and I opposed him at that time.
