Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday accused the Nitish Kumar government of deliberately showing inflated Muslim and Yadav population in the Bihar caste survey as part of its appeasement politics.

Shah made the remarks while addressing a rally in Muzaffarpur district.

The senior BJP leader further said that the decision to conduct the caste survey in the state was taken when Nitish Kumar’s JD(U) was an NDA constituent.

Attacking the opposition INDIA alliance, Shah said that the only agenda of the alliance is to oppose Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“Nitish Kumar should stop dreaming about becoming the next PM. The INDIA alliance did not even make him its convener,” he said.

Shah added that the BJP would win all the 40 seats in Bihar in next year’s Lok Sabha elections.
