Not arrogant but proud to be a Bihari: Nitish takes on Modi

March 12, 2014 21:47

Contesting allegations by BJP leader Narendra Modi that his arrogance was higher than Mount Everest, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today said he was from a "poor family" and only had self-respect.

"Himalaya and Mt Everest are compared to good things but the comparison this time was done with arrogance. There is no scale to measure arrogance. Who is calling whom arrogant? We are proud to be Indian and Bihari but do not have arrogance," Kumar told a press conference in Patna.

"Other people have arrogance and their arrogance is dripping from every inch of his body," Kumar said two days after Narendra Modi attacked him at a rally in Purnea.
