Nitish Kumar agrees with Sena's criticism of Modi over Mongolia credit line

PATNA: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today agreed with Sena's criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for announcing a credit line of USD one billion to Mongolia, stating that even allies were not heard within the NDA.

"I am in full agreement with the Shiv Sena's criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi," Kumar told reporters when asked to comment on Shiv Sena's criticism published in its mouthpiece 'Saamana'.

Sena today criticised Modi's announcement of a credit line of USD 1 billion to Mongolia and asked why he can't show the same eagerness to help the distressed farmers of Maharashtra reeling under debt.

"Today BJP has established its monopoly over the NDA ignoring views of allies on any subject," Kumar said and cited differences in opinion among NDA constituents over the Land Acquisition Bill.

To a question on the PM's statements in China and South Korea that Indians were earlier ashamed of being born in the country until he took office, the Chief Minister said, "I think every Indian feels pride being born in India."
