Targeting CM for over his "deadly silence", Tejashwi asserted that he would make CM Nitish Kumar break his silence over the rape case.
He wrote: "Bihar Governor has shot two letters to CM Nitish Kumar on Muzaffarpur mass rape case, asking him to take strict action against high & mighty. Indirectly He has questioned CM’s Criminal Silence on this horrendous “Institutional Rape” case"
In what appeared more like a pledge, Tejashwi wrote that regardless of how long it takes, he would ensure that Nitish Kumar breaks his ‘criminal’ silence over the issue. He said that he would unmask the CM and expose his fictitious ethics.
