Bihar Chief Minister and JD(U) chief Nitish Kumar today expressed concern over 'atmosphere of tension' in society, but said it would not last long.

Pointing out that many today felt politics was an opportunity for creating wealth, he said those who follow ideal politics, and serve people will be successful.

"Whatever is the atmosphere in the country, there isan atmosphere of tension. People are only attacking eachother. They are blabbering, no one is looking at the amount ofwork happening, people only blabber," Kumar said.

Addressing JDU workers at the state conference of the party here, he said "the atmosphere that has been created in the society, the tension that is created, all these according to me will not continue for long."
Reminding Mahatma Gandhi's words that those in power are just trustees, he said "many feel politics is an opportunity, instead of doing service, they indulge in creating wealth. Wehave to get rid of it."
