'Personal Comments Won't...': Tejashwi Yadav Reacts To Nitish Kumar's 'Itna Bal Bachaa' Jibe At Lalu

Former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav reacted to CM Nitish Kumar’s “itna bal bachaa (too many children)” swipe at Lalu Prasad Yadav saying “making personal comments won’t help the people of Bihar”.

“You (Nitish Kumar) are senior to us, and we respected you and will continue to do that. You can say whatever you want, that is your right. Whatever he would say, that is going to be a blessing for us. However, making personal comments won’t help the people of Bihar,” he said.

“The situation is that 4-5 people have hijacked him (Nitish Kumar) and when the time comes and I’ll write a book, I’ll explain all these things. It’s not the first time that he has said this, he said this in the 2020 elections as well. I can only pray that his health remains good and he lives happily…It’s not in our culture that we say something to someone who is a father figure to us,” Yadav added.

Without taking any names, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar on Saturday took a jibe at his former ally Lalu Yadav and his “many children”.

“Some people claim everything these days. They appointed their wives when they were removed. Now, it is their children these days. Ab paida to bahut kar diya. Itna zyaada paida karna chahiye kisi ko, baal baccha? (Does anybody beget so many children?” Kumar said, while addressing an election rally in Katihar in favour of NDA’s Lok Sabha nominee Dulal Chandra Goswami.

While the Bihar CM did not mention anyone by name, his remarks seem to target former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav’s family.

“Now they have involved their sons, daughters, and everyone. They keep saying something or other everywhere. They forget the old things, hence, I want to tell everyone that no work used to get done. People could not get out, there were no roads or education,” Nitish Kumar further said.
