RJD leader Shivanand Tiwari slammed Sushil Kumar Modi by saying that latter’s role had become less of BJP's and more of Nitish Kumar's associate. “. I think that's why BJP cut him off this time. He wasn't allowing other BJP leaders to rise. He used to speak on all topics daily and couldn't live without appearing in newspaper/TV.” “I have no animosity with him, he is like my younger brother. But his personality used to reflect a lack of depth. I think this is the reason BJP leadership did not give him a post in the state cabinet this time,” he added.
