Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi must break his silence on the issues which have gripped the nation.
"The issues which are bothering the entire nation, the issues about which everyone has an opinion about, the leader of the government should speak about it," Nitish told ANI.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is visiting Bihar today for the first time after assuming office.
