In the scathing 42-page “charge sheet” titled “20-Saal, Vin-ash Kaal” against the Kumar-led NDA government, the Congress accused the Bihar chief minister of breaking promises, the attacks were more directed towards the BJPand the central government. It questioned the governance issues in Bihar but branded the governmentas the “BJP-led government” oras the “NDA government”, not to single out Kumar.
