Nitish and Tejashwi communicate playfully in Bihar Assembly

Patna: The relationship between Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and opposition leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav is stirring interest in Bihar politics. Despite public criticisms of Lalu Prasad, their "uncle-nephew" bond seems strong. This was evident in the Bihar assembly when Nitish used gestures to communicate with Tejashwi, bringing some light-hearted moments to the tense session. On Wednesday, Nitish attracted attention when he made playful gestures towards Tejashwi. He pointed to his own nose, questioning why Tejashwi was covering his. Tejashwi responded but it was not clear what he meant. Later, Nitish gestured again, asking why Tejashwi had not shaved. This exchange made others smile, including water resources minister Vijay Kumar Choudhary, who sat next to the CM. Their light-hearted banter stood out amid heated arguments in the assembly. Similar interactions occurred recently when Nitish asked Tejashwi what he was chewing, to which Tejashwi replied he was enjoying chocolate. These amusing exchanges seem to provide a relief from the usual tensions. When reporters asked Tejashwi about their gestures, he said, "Bujhe-wala bujhata," indicating that those familiar with Nitish understand the meaning. Tejashwi respects Nitish personally but remains critical of him politically, arguing that Nitish lacks ideology and policy.
