Nitish govt 'selectively slashed Hindu festivals': BJP

The Bharatiya Janata Party criticises Nitish Kumar and the Bihar government for reducing holidays for Hindu festivals while increasing holidays for Muslim festivals. Sushil Kumar Modi accuses Nitish Kumar of attacking Hindus and predicts that he will be known as 'Mohammad Nitish'. Giriraj Singh states that this decision shows that the Bihar government is working on the basis of Islamic religious beliefs. Ashwini Kumar Choubey calls Nitish Kumar the leader of appeasement and highlights the anti-Hindu face of the government.
