Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday attacked the RSS by saying that its ideology is not good for the country or its people. He also urged all like-minded parties to unite against the BJP. Sangh (RSS) ka vichardhara sahi nahin hain, yeh desh hit mein nahin hain," Nitish Kumar told a press conference in Patna after holding his weekly janata durbar where he addressed grievances of people.

The Bihar CM has said in the past that the RSS was banned and later the ban was lifted and now the party was back to doing things it had been banned for in the past.

I am not against any individual. My opposition to the RSS is ideological, he said and reiterated that the need of the hour is a Sangh-mukt India.

Nitish Kumar said it is high time all non-BJP parties and all others opposed to the RSS unite across the country. Our main aim is to stop the BJP, he said on Saturday at a function where he blamed the BJP for sowing the seeds of social discord in society.

He said that he has never compromised with his ideology despite being part of the BJP-led NDA at the centre and had ruled Bihar for over seven years.
