10 Dec 2015 Evaluate

Supporting Congress on its protest over National Herald issue, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said there should not be any vendetta in politics and opposition should not be harassed.  He was asked about his views on the accusation of the Congress that the government is misusing the Enforcement Directorate for political vendetta.

Nitish said "when Congress is saying something, then it must be well thought-out. I have no details. But when Congress is saying so it must have some meaning, otherwise why the party will say so?" He said that in such circumstances, government should clear the apprehensions in the mind of Congress. The JD(U) leader said that the government has primary responsibility to run Parliament when asked about the ongoing disruptions in the House

The Trinamool Congress too has voiced support to the Congress on the issue. The Chief Minister, who met PM Narendra Modi, said that it was a courtesy call. There was no particular issue involved in the meeting. On Bihar package, he said, ‘I am hopeful that the Centre will honour the commitment made by the PM. I am hopeful it will be implemented.’ Asked whether he would play a role in other state elections after Bihar success, he said that he was doing his work in Bihar after the elections. Other political parties are there in other states. They will discuss and decide on it. He also said he has met Assam leader Prafulla Mahanta, who is an old friend. On GST issue, the Bihar CM said that they support GST as it will be beneficial for all states.
