Patna, Feb 5 (IBNS): Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has landed himself in a fresh controversy after he was caught on camera filling in the colours of a lotus at the Patna book fair, media reports said.

Lotus is the BJP party's poll symbol.

BJP lawmaker Giriraj had told reporters that Kumar was "painting his political ambitions."

However, Kumar had criticised the Union budget, crafted by the Narendra Modi government at the Centre.
