Posters and banners targeting Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar have been seen in the city. These posters appeared after a joint meeting of opposition parties took place to form a platform against the ruling BJP alliances. The posters label Kumar as the “Unstable Prime Ministerial Contender” and were found near Chalukya Circle, Windsor Manor bridge, and Airport Road in the Hebbal locality on Monday night.
One of the posters talks about how Bangalore welcomes CM Nitish Kumar. They also mention incidents of bridge collapses that happened in Bihar during his time as Chief Minister. The dates of the Sultanganj Bridge collapses in April 2022 and June 2023 are specifically mentioned.
Another poster mockingly refers to Nitish Kumar as ‘Shri Nitish Kumar, the CM, Government of Bihar, the man who builds underwater bridges.’ These posters show images of the collapsed Sultanganj bridge.
Nitish Kumar, who was present at the event, has not yet responded to these posters. Former Karnataka Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy, when asked about Nitish Kumar’s ideology, mentioned that Nitish Kumar is often questioned about the same.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah commented that Nitish Kumar has admitted his mistake of aligning with the BJP.
