BJP leader Shatrughan Sinha meets Nitish Kumar, calls him 'guardian of Bihar'

Patna, July 26 (IBNS): Raising eyebrows, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Shatrughan Sinha met Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar at his residence in Patna and called him the "guardian of the state."
"It was a courtesy call and I consider him as guardian of the state," Sinha told coming out of the meeting.
 
This came even as Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday launched a scathing attack on Nitish Kumar.
 
Addressing a 'Parivartan rally' in North Bihar's Muzaffarpur, Modi had said there was something wrong in Nitish Kumar's "political DNA" as he ditched "friends".
 
"I was hurt when he withdrew his support. But when he did the same thing to a Mahadalit like Jitan Manjhi, then I figured out there is something wrong in his political DNA," Modi had said in a remark referring to events following the JD(U)'s split with the BJP in 2013.
 
Modi had alleged that  Kumar broke up with him ahead of the Lok Sabha elections for personal gain.
 
"If you hated me so much you could have come into my room and slapped me. Or strangled me. For that you jeopardised the development of the entire state," he had said.
 
The JD(U) and the BJP were alliance partners for 15 years till they split ahead of the Lok Sabha elections over the projection of Modi as prime ministerial candidate.
