Bihar politician Shivanand Tiwari criticises CM Nitish Kumar on latter's claim of zero-tolerance on corruption

Patna, July 26 (TheBiharPost/IBNS): Shivanand Tiwari, a senior Bihar politician considered very close to RJD chief Lalu Prasad, on Wednesday criticised state chief minister Nitish Kumar’s much-hyped claim of zero-tolerance on corruption.

“Zero tolerance claim of Nitish Kumar is only a dhong (pretence). I know him for the past 40 years. We duddh ke dhule nahin hain (He is not the holy cow)” Tiwari told the media in Patna on Wednesday.


“Yadi gade-murde ukhade to jawab dena mushkil ho jayega (he will be in no position to save his face if we begin digging out old graves),” Tiwari claimed.

He also mocked JD-U’s move of seeking clarifications from deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav over a corruption case registered against him by the CBI.

“Only the court or the CBI is authorized to seek explanations from Tejashwi. Who is JD-U or Nitish Kumar to ask this? Has the CBI outsourced Nitish to do this?” asked Tiwari.

He also wondered over the chief minister’s remark that it’s the collective responsibility of all to save the alliance.

“It’s not the collective responsibility of all; rather it’s the main responsibility of the chief minister to save the alliance since he is leading it,” he explained.
