What's your take... Chacha ji? Tejashwi Yadav asks Nitish Kumar after BJP's poor poll show

Former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav

After BJP's poor poll show, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Wednesday asked Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar if he was willing to go back on his assertion that there would be no challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the 2019 general elections.

Tejashwi's remark came in the backdrop of assembly poll results in three states -- Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh -- where the BJP lost to the Congress, an ally in the RJD-led grand alliance in Bihar.

"Just after switching sides to the NDA, Nitish Kumar had said that nobody has the potential to challenge Modi.

"With all humility, I want to ask Nitish Kumar as what is your take on this (the statement) now. Are you contemplating to take a u-turn again after talking to your conscience? Aren't you Chacha ji?," Tejashwi, who is the opposition leader in Bihar, tweeted.

बिहार के मुख्यमंत्री नीतीश कुमार ने पलटी मारने के तुरंत बाद कहा था,”मोदी जी का मुकाबला करने की क्षमता इस देश में किसी में नहीं है” मैं विनम्रता से नीतीश जी से पूछना चाहता हूँ, अब इस बारे में उनका क्या विचार है? अंतरात्मा से बात कर पलटी मारने की सोच रहे है ना? है ना चाचा जी?
