Keep your ‘achche din’, return people their ‘purane din’: Nitish to Modi

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to bring back ‘purane din’ (old days) of people, as he hit back at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which blamed him for the rising prices of pulses, and asked why states ruled by it also had the same rates.

“I feel like laughing at Union ministers blaming me for skyrocketing prices of pulses. If it was so, the price of pulses should have been Rs 200 per kg only in Bihar.

“Why it is selling at Rs 200 per kg in Gujarat, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh?” Kumar wondered addressing an election rally at Nalanda, his home district, in favour of minister Shrawan Kumar. Slamming the Centre for “skyrocketing” price of pulses, Kumar asked the PM to “keep your ‘achche din’ with you and return people their ‘purane din’ (old days).”
