Duel over birthday wish

On Children’s Day, former Bihar deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav (pictured right) expressed his disappointment that his “chacha” (uncle) Nitish Kumar (pictured) forgot to wish him. 

A day earlier, the Bihar Chief Minister had dismissed Yadav as a “child”, while accusing his father and Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad of conjuring new ploys every other day to stay in the news. 

Speaking at an event Kumar had said, “Tejashwi is a child, and is expected to follow in his father’s footsteps.” Reacting to that barb, Yadav tweeted, “You did not wish this child on his birthday five days ago.”
