BJP slams Nitish for visits to other states

Patna: State BJP president Mangal Pandey on Wednesday criticised CM Nitish Kumar for touring other states at a time when Bihar is reeling under floods. "People are spending nights near embankments and our CM is busy visiting other states," Pandey said. He also took a dig on RJD leader Lalu Prasad, saying that the CM's "elder brother" is only concerned about his village and district." Recalling the Kosi floods of 2008, Pandey said only 15% of affected people have been rehabilitated in eight years.
