Musharraf dragged into fight between Paswan and Nitish Kumar

"A person who missed no chance to criticise Narendra Modi after walking out of NDA is today lavishly praising him," he had said.

Paswan, who shared the dais with Modi at a rally at Muzaffarpur on Monday, had described him as 'vikas purush' (development man) and 'future Prime Minister of the country' and criticised Kumar.

On Kumar challenging him to divulge the 'truth' behind his quitting NDA - whether it was on the question of change of his ministerial portfolio or Gujarat riots, Paswan asked if it was greed that guided him then why did he turn down the offer of chief ministership of Bihar to him twice by NDA.

The LJP chief, who was accompanied by his son Chirag, came down heavily on Kumar and Prasad, saying, "I am not like them (Kumar and Prasad), who call somebody good for two days and assail them as bad in no time... However, they are my friends and will remain so," he added.
