Queried on Union Home Ministry's alert about possibility of a terror attack on Narendra Modi, Kumar said questions related to security should be answered by state police chief and not him.

On RJD leader Rabri Devi dubbing BJP ‘Ravan' and JD(U) ‘Kans', he said, “Earlier I used to comment on Lalu Prasad, but there is no need to comment on her assertions.” He also justified his minister Narendra Singh calling Narendra Modi the “biggest terrorist”, saying  “You are asking me about the comments by my ministerial colleague, but what are they uttering about me?”

Asked about a report said to have been given by Central IB and RAW to the PMO that he was soft on Maoists, Kumar said, “Was this (report) meant for the media about which they know everything, but has not come to me.”

He claimed that the Centre's Integrated Plan Action to tackle the Maoist problem was based on the state government's pioneering scheme ‘Apke Sarkar Apke Dwar' launched in 2006.  

On the Raghuram Rajan committee report putting Bihar in the category of least developed states, he said, “If they do not take a favourable decision, the JD(U) will go the people to intensify the agitation for it.”
