Launching a scathing attack on the Bihar Chief Minister, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav on August 18 asked if Nitish Kumar is an ally or slave of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Yadav's remarks came when he was asked to comment on caste-based census.  “We have been writing to the Prime Minister from August 4, to talk about caste census but the PM has no time to meet the Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. Is Nitish Kumar an ally or a slave of PM?” he asked. Slamming the Prime Minister, Yadav said, "Not even a single central committee has been sent to the state to review the flood situation."
