Congress leader Rahul Gandhi attacked former Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar, calling him 'compromised' and alleging that the JD(U) chief's past deeds allowed the BJP to control him completely.
Gandhi made the comments while speaking at a poll rally in Thoothukudi in Tamil Nadu, where assembly elections are scheduled to be held on April 23.
He alleged that the BJP was able to remove Nitish as CM since the ex-CM was compromised and didn't say a word after he was sent to Rajya Sabha.
Nitish, the longest-serving chief minister of Bihar, resigned on April 14, days after he won the Rajya Sabha polls from Bihar.
Gandhi echoed similar concerns for Tamil Nadu, saying the BJP wants a state government 'which they can fully control.'
'Because his past deeds allowed BJP to control him completely. That is what they want to do here in Tamil Nadu. They want to have a government which they full control. They want a chief minister who does exactly what they say. And that is something we are never going to allow them to do,' Gandhi added.
