Some people in Delhi more interested in publicity: Nitish taunts Kejriwal

February 02, 2020 19:24

Taking a dig at Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, his Bihar counterpart Nitish Kumar on Sunday said some people are interested in publicity and questioned the work done by the city government in the last five years.

The Janaat Dal-United chief was in New Delhi to campaign for party candidate S C L Gupta for the February 8 Delhi assembly polls. Gupta is contesting the elections from the Sangam Vihar constituency in south Delhi.

"Some people are more interested in publicity and advertisements. We don't do that," Kumar said without naming Kejriwal.

"Those who got the mandate to govern Delhi did nothing," he said.

The BJP is contesting the polls in Delhi in alliance with the JD-U and the Lok Janshakti Party.

Bihar being a poor state has done a phenomenal job in areas of education, electricity and health, and strengthening road and transport infrastructure, Kumar said.

BJP president J P Nadda and LJP leader Chirag Paswan were also present at the public meeting. -- PTI
