  • Patna : Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday unfolded that during 2010 Bihar Assembly elections he was not the one who blocked Modi from campaigning but it was a decision by BJP.

  • Nitish Kumar gave an interview to NDTV and claimed that in 2008 he had returned flood relief Modi had given Bihar as Gujarat CM.

  • PM Modi, during a rally, had alleged that Nitish Kumar had blocked him from canvassing in Bihar.

  • Senior Bihar BJP leader Sushil Modi also alleged that Nitish Kumar is to be blamed for fiasco between JD(U) and BJP.

  • In Tuesday’s interview, Nitish Kumar claimed it was Sushil Modi and not him who stopped PM Modi from campaigning in Bihar.

  • Sushil Modi on the other hand said he will comment only after he sees the interview.

  • Bihar Assembly polls are now left with final three phase of polling and the battle has now turned into a direct confrontation war between Modi and Kumar.

  • BJP had also alleged that Nitish Kumar cancelled a dinner in June 2010 he was to host for BJP national executives after his demand to keep Narendra Modi out of it was not fulfilled.

  • Nitish also tried to save his name on it and said he had left the decision on the Party. 

  • BJP had cancelled it as it was not feasible for Modi, then Gujarat CM, to attend it.
