Union minister Giriraj Singh’s tweet targeting allies Nitish Kumar and Ram Vilas Paswan , and BJP colleague Sushil Modi for attending an iftar event has led to a war of words in Bihar. The Janata Dal (United), which is part of the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Bihar, dubbed Giriraj Singh as “mentally sick”. “He (Giriraj Singh) does all this so that media makes news out of it,” said CM Nitish Kumar, according to news agency ANI. On Tuesday morning, Giriraj Singh tweeted a set of pictures that showed Nitish Kumar, Lok Jankshakti Party chief Ram Vilas Paswan and Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi holding each other’s hands at an iftar. JD(U) MLC and newly inducted minister of Nitish Kumar cabinet Ashok Chaudhary wondered who had stopped Giriraj Singh from arranging fruit feast during Navratras.
