Like Karpoori Thakur, I also never promoted family members: Nitish
Hindustan Times
|January 25, 2024
Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar on Wednesday took a swipe at dynastic politics being pursued by "many leaders today" and said he has never promoted any member of his family, drawing inspiration from his mentor and socialist icon Karpoori Thakur.
Addressing a rally organised by his Janata Dal (United) in Patna to mark the centenary birth anniversary of late Karpoori Thakur, hailed as "Jannayak" in Bihar, Kumar thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Centre for conferring the country's highest civilian award, Bharat Ratna, on the socialist leader and former two-term chief minister.
The Centre had announced on Tuesday that the legendary OBC leader from Bihar would be conferred Bharat Ratna posthumously.
