Talking to reporters after joining the BJP, Singh launched a frontal attack on Nitish Kumar, saying he was ‘hungry’ for ‘Chair’. He said, ”Nitish Babu says he is against crime and corruption, but he is doing everything for another ‘C’ i.e. chair”
He wondered why Nitish was going from one state to another for Opposition unity while the people of Bihar voted him to power for the welfare of the state.
Singh heaped praise on the PM, saying it was because of the work being done by his government that India has now become the fifth largest economy in the world.
