"This (efforts for a federal front) has increased pulse of 'hawabazzs' (gossipers)," Kumar said, in an apparent dig at the BJP Prime Ministerial candidate who had yesterday said that a third front should see which way the wind was blowing and that the BJP would form the government after the Lok Sabha elections.
Without naming Narendra Modi, Kumar claimed "One senior leader in his speech at Kolkata yesterday appeared totally rattled by formation of the new front.
Kumar was referring to meeting of 11 non-Congress and non-BJP parties in Delhi to form a separate block in Parliament with him behind the exercise.

Asserting that 'Delhi only worships one who has strength', Kumar urged people to strengthen JD(U) so that nobody could dare to ignore the demand for special status for the state.
