Nitish Kumar, during a rally held to mark the 100 birth anniversary of Karpoori Thakur said that he had not promoted any of the family members in politics just like Karpoori Thakur.

Though Rohini Acharya deleted the posts after a couple of hours but it was good enough to show the point of view of the Lalu family on the ongoing tussle between them and Nitish Kumar.

While praising PM Modi for his government's decision to confer Bharat Ratna to socialist leader Karpoori Thakur, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar on Wednesday attacked dynastic politics which many referred as an attack on Lalu's family fueling speculations about a big development in the state politics.

India's number one and most followed Super Prime Time News Show, ‘Aaj Ki Baat-Rajat Sharma Ke Saath' was launched just before the 2014 general elections.

"I would like to say to him (PM Modi), you may say that you took the step just like that, without taking into account what we did," Nitish Kumar, the longest-serving CM of Bihar in his trademark style.

The Bharatiya Janata Party has welcomed the government's decision to posthumously confer the Bharat Ratna on former Bihar Chief Minister Karpoori Thakur and termed it 'historic'.

Karpoori Thakur was chosen for the country's highest civilian award a day ahead of his 100th birth anniversary. The announcement to confer the country's highest civilian award to Thakur, popularly known as 'Jan Nayak', was made by the Rashtrapati Bhavan.

Karpoori Thakur's visionary leadership, unwavering commitment to uplift downtrodden left indelible mark on India's socio-political fabric, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Bihar CM Nitish Kumar reshuffled his cabinet on Saturday night, in which portfolios of three ministers of his ally RJD were changed. Education Minister Chandra Shekhar, who has been hitting the headlines for different reasons, was made the Sugarcane Industries Miniter.
