Nitish's anti-Modi chant fails to impress Muslims
- 5 years ago
India News: Many Muslims in Bihar are not impressed by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's latest move to target Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi for his allegedly communal politics. It is mere "doublespeak", they say, and has little to do with secularism.
"After all, Nitish Kumar has been with the BJP for 17 long years. What happened to Muslims in Gujarat in 2002 is well documented, but all this while Nitish Kumar failed to criticise Modi and never demanded his sacking as chief minister. Suddenly, now, he questions Modi's secular credentials," says Irshadul Haque, a Dalit Muslim activist.
