After the viral moment, BJP took a dig at both the leaders, as BJP leader Amit Malviya tweeted, "Did KCR travel to Patna to get insulted like this? Nitish Kumar didn’t even accord him the basic courtesy of completing his point in a press interaction. Nitish was dismissive of KCR’s pleas to let him finish. But then that is Nitish Kumar. Self conceited. KCR asked for it…"

Meanwhile, BJP Rajya Sabha MP, Sushil Modi told news agency ANI, "KCR didn't even accept Nitish Kumar as a PM candidate & outrightly denied it. Nitish Kumar tried to walk out of a presser when they (Nitish Kumar & KCR) were asked about it though KCR tried to make him sit many times."
Besides, KCR in his tour to Patna, where he met top political leaders in Bihar, gave a call for “BJP mukt Bharat”. At a press conference that he addressed with his Bihar counterpart Nitish Kumar and Deputy CM Tejashwi Prasad Yadav by his side, KCR invoked the memory of Loknayak Jayaprakash Narayan's “Kranti” (revolution) against “tanashahi” (dictatorship) to stress the need for a united opposition to take on the BJP's hegemony.
