Darbhanga (Bihar): Bihar Chief Minister raked up Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'DNA' remark on the last day of campaigning for the final phase of polling and asked the people to reply to the barb by voting in favour of the grand secular alliance on November 5.
"Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not remember for 14 months to visit Bihar, which gave him 31 out of 40 seats in Lok Sabha polls. I went to receive him at the airport in Patna as the PM was coming to participate in a government function (in July). But the Prime Minister, later, at Muzaffarpur questioned my DNA," Kumar told a public meeting in Hayaghat in Darbhanga district.
"The Prime Minister said there is something wrong with my DNA. Does it behove the Prime Minister? Does it go with the dignity attached to the post? If my DNA is wrong, then why you (people) elected me the Chief Minister twice ? Trashing Modi's accusation that he was arrogant, Kumar said he is not one but a "Bihari who will not let anyone go unchallenged if he attacks the self-respect of Bihar and its people".
"If (you think) my DNA is not wrong, then give them (BJP) a reply by voting in favour of secular alliance on November 5," he said.
Modi, while attacking Nitish Kumar at a rally in Muzaffarpur on July 25, much before the poll dates were announced, had said there was "some problem with Nitish Kumar.
