Tejashwi said that Nitish Kumar’s move was well planned and called Sushil Modi “shameless”.  

He said: “Nitish ji, who once talked of a Sangh-free Bharat, now sits in RSS lap forgetting his promises.”

he also asked Nitish why he made an alliance with the RJD even when Lalu Prasad was an accused of fodder scam. “Nitish is anti-minority and anti-Dalit,” said Tejashwi in his speech in the House. 

He claimed that Nitish never asked him to resign. He said had he been asked to resign, he would have stepped down.
