Nitish Kumar Slammed Govt By Saying It Is Not Working For One Family

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Friday slammed his critics and said that he will respond to each and every allegations being levelled against him at the right time.

Speaking in the assembly during the debate on the trust vote, Nitish warned his detractors not to be arrogant and said that he will show a mirror to those who are speaking against him.

"Secularism has to do with ideology and it is not a cover-up for corruption. People should not preach secularism to me. I know well what the situation is," he said.

"The mandate is to serve the people and not to profit (Mandate janta ki seva ke liye tha, na ki rajbhog, mewa ke liye). The people's court is the biggest court and it is my duty to serve them but I can't serve one family," Kumar said in his 10-minute speech in Bihar Assembly in support of confidence motion moved by him for his new government with the NDA.

He won the trust vote comfortably with 131 votes against the opposition's 108.

"People should not teach me lessons on secularism. Secularism is something that can be practised. I cannot be with such people who indulge in committing sins besides amassing property through corrupt means in the garb of secularism," Kumar said in a dig at RJD president Lalu Prasad.
