Incensed at Narendra Modi’s remark about “the problem in his DNA” Bihar CM Nitish Kumar wrote an open letter to the Prime Minister to address what he deemed “an insult to the people of
Bihar”. Nitish also took to Twitter to defend the arguments made in his letter. In an interview to _The Quint _Sankarshan Thakur, Roving Editor of _The Telegraph_ talks about Nitish Kumar’s
relationship with Narendra Modi. Sankarshan Thakur, who is also the author of _A Single Man: The Life and Times of Nitish Kumar _has reported on Bihar politics for the better part of three
decades. Based on his extensive personal interactions with the Bihar CM both on and off the record, Thakur says that Nitish’s animosity for Modi goes beyond politics and ideology. In June
2013, Nitish Kumar’s JD(U) broke ties with BJP, with whom he had formed a government in Bihar, just as Narendra Modi was being projected as the NDA’s Prime Ministerial candidate. Published:
