 "Where will honey come from if there is no beehive? asks Nitish")
Apparently referring to Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi's remark that India was a beehive, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today questioned where honey would come from if there was no beehive.
"Madhumakkhi ka chhatta nahin rahega to shahad kahan se ayega (where will honey come from if there is no beehive)?" Kumar told reporters in reply to a question.
The chief minister initially sought to ignore a question on Gandhi's 'beehive' remark, but came back to it after replying to a few questions.
The Congress leader had recently made the beehive remark during an address to industrialists.
