Be a CM first: Nitish Kumar to Rahul Gandhi

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday said Congress poster boy Rahul Gandhi should first be a Chief Minister before he aspire to be a Prime Minister.

“First let him be a chief minister of any state, before he becomes a Prime Minister,” said Kumar in a tongue in cheek comment here.

Rahul Gandhi recently opened a front with Nitish Kumar during his election campaign blaming the latter of not doing enough to develop the state in his tenure.

Gandhi said most of the development activities in the state were centrally funded.

The 243-member Bihar Assembly is undergoing a six-phased polls in Oct-Nov beginning with the first phase on Oct 21.

The fourth phase of polling was held on Monday.
