Ridiculing Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's call for a "Sangh-mukt Bharat", the BJP on Saturday said it was nothing but a "daydream".
"What right does he have to say such things? After being BJP Yukt for a number of years, how can he talk of Sangh-mukt Bharat? And even if he does say so, does that have credibility?" asked BJP national spokesman Shahnawaz Hussain.
He said the real motive behind Nitish Kumar's remarks was to stay in the limelight.
"Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal-United is a regional party which never earlier contested all the seats in Bihar.
"His dream of playing a key role in national politics will never come true," he added.
