Patna: LJP chief Ramvilas Paswan has said that Nitish Kumar's demand for special category status to Bihar was aimed at mobilising mass support to strengthen his case for being projected as NDA's prime ministerial candidate in the 2014 general elections.
"It (the demand) is an open secret...It is part of a larger game plan (by Nitish Kumar) to see himself as a front runner for NDA's prime ministerial candidate that Kumar has conceived the special status issue and set out on 'Adhikar yatra' on September 19 to woo the masses to elect his candidates in the next general elections," Paswan said.
He criticised Kumar for his alleged inconsistent stand on the special status issue and said he had opposed the demand when it was raised by RJD-led government after bifurcation of Bihar in 2000.
