Third Front will emerge as First Front after polls: Nitish
13 March 2014 11:58 PM GMT
‘His (Narendra Modi’s) barbs against the Third Front is actually because he thinks it will emerge as the First Front after the elections,’ Kumar, who is one of the prime movers for the Front, told reporters here.
Confident of the success of 11 non-Congress and non-BJP parties, Kumar said they would form government at the Centre on the basis of a common minimum programme.
On Modi’s jibe that more than 12 prime ministerial hopefuls were getting their attires stitched for taking oath as the PM, he said, ‘They believe in designer clothes. Not me.’ Kumar, a senior leader of the JD(U), took potshots at BJP for playing ‘caste and community cards’ for power.
He contested Modi’s allegation that milkmen were getting only Rs 18 per litre for their produce in Bihar while it was Rs 36 per litre in Gujarat, and said the COMFED, Bihar government’s dairy cooperative, was purchasing milk at Rs 30 per litre.
Kumar also made a scathing attack at the BJP for its collusion with MNS in Maharashtra, which had targeted people from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. Paying back Narendra Modi in kind for his remarks of Himalayan arrogance, he hit back at him saying ‘arrogance is dropping from every inch of his body’. Born in a poor family he only has self-respect and not arrogance, Kumar maintained.
‘The style of talking and body posture shows who is arrogant ... everybody knows that actually arrogance is dropping from every inch of his body,’ Kumar said two days after Narendra Modi attacked him at a rally in Purnea calling his arrogance was higher than Mt Everest.
