Patna,(BiharTimes): The newly inducted minister of state in the Narendra Modi cabinet, Giriraj Singh, on Sunday called former chief minister Nitish Kumar a Vinash Purush (Man of Destructive mentality) and not Vikas Purush (Man of Developmental mentality), who had done nothing for the sake of Bihar.He said in his parliamentary constituency, Nawada, that Nitish had spent Rs 150 crore for the development of his own village, Kalyanbigha in Nalanda district, and nothing for Bihar.

Incidentally, Giriraj Singh had served as a minister in the Nitish cabinet for about eight years, and like him all the BJP leaders then used to call Nitish as the Vikas Purush. The then deputy CM Sushil Kumar Modi even went on to see prime ministerial material in Nitish.
