Patna: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today said he was amazed
by Uddhav Thackeray's remarks that Shiv Sena will not support Mr Kumar
as NDA's Prime Ministerial candidate for protesting the arrest of an
accused by the Mumbai police from Bihar and asked who has sought Sena's
support and for what.
"Ek adbhut bayan ek neta ka aya hai (an amazing statement has come from a leader)," he said referring to Mr Thackeray's rant against him for expressing disapproval of the manner of arrest of an accused from Bihar by the Mumbai police without informing the local police last week.
"Bina soche samjhe bolne ki paripari ban gayi hai (a trend has been set up for speaking without applying mind)....kabhi kabhi hansi aati hai (one at times wants to laugh at such things)," he said.
"Kaun samarthan mang raha hai (who is asking for support)," Mr Kumar asked, referring to Uddhav Thackeray's comments.
"I am not in the fray for NDA's Prime Ministerial candidate," the Chief Minister said and slammed the Shiv Sena leader for saying that his party will not support Mr Kumar for supporting a "traitor".
