New Delhi : Post Cabinet meeting in Patna, Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav told reporters that he is not quitting over false corruption charges from when he was "just a boy who hadn't even sprouted a moonchh".

"When we got power when I became a minister, I did nothing wrong. When I was 13-14, would I have done anything wrong? I didn't have a post. I didn't even have a moonchh then. I was a child," Tejashwi told reporters.

Tejashwi Yadav attended the meeting with his elder brother Tej Pratap.

On Tuesday, Nitish Kumar had hinted that he wishes Tejashwi Yadav to resign from the post. 

"I shall not compromise with my principles. I am firm on my resolve of zero tolerance against corruption," the Chief Minister told his party at his home in Patna.
