"Nitish Kumar has proved to be a shok (mourning) and abhishap (curse) for Bihar as he has failed to deliver on his promises made to the people during the Kosi floods of 2008...
"The victim families still wait for the state government's help and assistance," Kushwaha, the Rashtriya Lok Samata Party (RLSP) chief, said.
Kumar, while speaking yesterday at an international conference - Incessant Ganga - had reminded the people of PM Narendra Modi's statement made during the 2014 general elections in Varanasi where he had said 'Maa Ganga ne mujhe bulaya hai' (Mother Ganga has called me).

Stating that his party had decided not to field candidates in the UP Assembly polls on the PM's suggestion, Kushwaha said "The people of UP want a change for development in the state.
