Nitish’s top advisor mocks Lalu for attending Anant Ambani’s wedding | India News – Times of India

PATNA: A close aide of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was mocked on Friday RJD President Lalu Prasad and his family for their attendance at the wedding by Anant AmbaniRural Works Minister Ashok Choudhary was responding to questions from journalists about the departure of Prasad, his wife and former CM Rabri Devi to Mumbai, along with several other family members.
Choudhary said the RJD supremo “has served as the chief minister of Bihar for a long time and hence it is not unusual for him to get an invitation. But we must note the gap between the words and deeds of these people. Their ally Rahul Gandhi keeps attacking Ambani and Adani. RJD leaders are doing the same at their own political rallies.”
Prasad’s son and heir apparent Tejashwi Yadav had told reporters that they had been “invited” to the Reliance group leader’s wedding Mukesh Ambani‘s son and they would convey their “best wishes” to each other.
Choudhary, the JD(U) leader, also rejected the opposition’s charge that the prime minister was showing “helplessness” by offering to touch the feet of officials at a public meeting.
“It is the CM’s humility and his concern for Bihar’s growth. His gestures are aimed at convincing officials to ensure that projects are completed on time. He does not care about amassing wealth for himself,” the minister said in an indirect reference to corruption cases against top RJD leaders.
Kumar on Wednesday asked a representative of a private company to expedite a road project in Patna and even offered to touch his feet to speed up the project.
The septuagenarian’s awkward gesture came during a function where a section of the ‘JP Ganga Pad’, a riverside expressway that aims to ease traffic congestion in the city, was opened to the public.
