Union minister Giriraj Singh has said Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar is no Akshay Kumar, a reference to the Bollywood actor who is known for his successful films, that he can take a win for granted. On June 8 Prasad had proposed Kumar's name as the leader of the Bihar alliance against the BJP, after weeks of posturing by the leaders of their parties regarding the post of the chief minister. The Union minister accused Kumar of lying to the people of Bihar saying he never kept his electoral promises.
