Nitish Kumar's message for PM Modi on completing 4 yrs in office
May 27, 2018 12:51
Prime Minister Narendra Modi received scores of congratulatory messages on his government's fourth anniversary. Some of them such as Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal were more effusive in their praise than the others. Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar also tweeted his message, congratulating him "for completing four years" but also dropped a subtle hint.
"I believe the government will rise to the expectations of the people," he said, re-igniting speculation about the uneasy relations between the top leadership of the two alliance partners.
But the tweet came later.
Minutes earlier, Kumar, speaking at a meeting of bankers, had underlined that Bihar would not get private investment unless it got the special category status. As he walked out, Kumar had evaded responding to a request from waiting camera persons who inquired if he had a message for PM Modi.
It was only after Kumar reached his residence that he tweeted a short message to PM Modi.
It was a message in context of some recent developments, a government source said.
He did not elaborate but officials indicate Kumar had been particularly disappointed with the central government releasing just Rs 1,711 crore for relief and rehabilitation for last year's floods.
