Tiwari openly praised Gujarat Chief Minister for reaching to the top from a very humble background.
“Modi has has struggled a lot to reach where he is today and for this I admire him a lot. We will fight him but we should also be aware of his strengths," he said as an embarrassed Nitish Kumar and other JD(U) leaders quietly looked on.
Shivanad Tiwari is not happy with Nitish Kumar for sometime as he is feeling sidelined in the party. His Rajya Sabha term will be coming to an end shorty and it is being speculated in political circles that he may leave JD(U) for greener pastures.
