Union Minister Rajiv Pratap Rudy on Monday launched an attack at Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, saying that a documental war is not going to help him in the upcoming state election.

"When the time has come for him to tell the public of Bihar about his 5 years' tenure and role, Nitish Kumar is preparing for paperwork and documental war. This proves that Lalu Prasad Yadav and Nitish Kumar have accepted their loss in Bihar's upcoming election," Rudy said.

"Nitish Kumar's credibility has been ended since he became friends with Lalu Prasad Yadav ji. He's free to have a documental war. But, Bihar's public is still waiting for him to fulfill his promises. He is trying to astray the public. BJP would like to ask what definition he has of 'governance' after shaking hands with Lalu Yadav ji," he added.

Rudy further stated that since BJP has started the Maha abhiyan with lots of preparations in Bihar, where the 'change movement' is in its full swing, Nitish will not be able to survive with this documental war.

The BJP, which along with its allies had won 31 of the 40 seats in Bihar in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, is set for a battle against a united Janata Parivar comprising of the JD (U) and RJD.
