Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) Lalu Yadav will be addressing a press conference tomorrow to launch a signature campaign 'shabd wapasi' against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'DNA' remark.
"Inspite of our repeated pleas, Modiji hasn't retracted his derogatory remarks on our DNA. We're going to launch a 'shabd wapasi' campaign against him," tweeted Nitish.
Prime Minister Modi, while attacking Nitish Kumar at a rally in Muzaffarpur on July 25, had said that it seemed that there was "some problem with Nitish Kumar's DNA", referring to his constant change of political allegiance. Nitish later described the DNA remark as an "insult" to people of Bihar.
