Days after he referred to Bihar Chief Minister and Janata Dal-United president Nitish Kumar as his “elder brother”, Rashtriya Lok Samata Party chief Upendra Kushwaha on Sunday slammed Mr. Kumar asking him to show his “DNA report”.
“The people of Bihar want to know what has come out in your DNA report. Why did you call me neech (demeaned person)?,” Mr. Kushwaha said while addressing a party meeting in Muzaffarpur. His comments come after Mr. Kumar, while responding to a question on Mr. Kushwaha in Patna on Saturday, said, “Please don’t take the level of your debate so low”. Earlier in the day, State JD(U) chief Basistha Narayan Singh had said that all was well in the NDA over seat-sharing as Mr. Kushwaha’s recent remarks had been “positive”.
