Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had a spat with a national TV journalist after the latter used the word "double standard" for the CM.
A visibly angry Kumar quickly countered the journalist's charge saying "I don't have any double standard, rather you are double standard (person)."
The journalist asked the CM that "you (CM) say that court's verdict on Ayodhya will be acceptable to all but your allies (referring to BJP) say that they will not follow the Supreme Court's verdict on Sabarimala...Whether the country will be run on the basis of the constitution or by any particular party's opinion."
The CM asserted that "the country will be run by the constitution but people have varied opinion."
Kumar, in the same vein, asked the journalist "whether constitution allows any scope for corruption? You are identifying a particular issue. So I would request you (journalist) to equally pay attention to both the issues (of corruption and other issues like Sabarimala, Ayodhya etc)."
