A livid Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Wednesday asked a representative of a private company to expedite a road project in Patna and offered to touch his feet to speed it up.
The Chief Minister's awkward gesture came at a function where a stretch of "JP Ganga Path", an expressway along the river that promises to ease traffic in the city, was dedicated to the public.
A presentation was made at the function, attended by dignitaries like Deputy Chief Ministers Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha and local MP Ravi Shankar Prasad, on the project's progress.
