Nitish Kumar's Gaffe: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who often creates headlines for making gaffes, once again made headlines by making a faux pas at a government event in Rohtas. While addressing the event, Nitish accidentally referred to Prime Minister Narendra Modi as former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee. However, he realised his mistake in a moment and rectified it, saying PM Modi also worked a lot for the people of Bihar.
“Whatever, Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Pardon, he had served earlier. For whatever PM Modi is doing for you (people of ), let’s give him a standing ovation,” the chief minister urged people present at the event.
