BJP senior leader Sushil Modi has alleged Bihar CM Nitish Kumar was following footsteps of Tamil Nadu CM Jayalalithaa, who slapped more than 300 defamation cases against the opposition leaders who dared to raise voice against her.

Modi said that Nitish too was doing the same by threatening to file defamation suit against Bihar BJP leaders.

WHAT HAS PROVOKED THIS CLAIM?

The controversy started when don-turned-politician Shahabuddin, rape accused RJD MLA Raj Ballabh Yadav and Gaya road rage accused Rocky Yadav were granted bail by the Patna High Court recently. Modi had alleged that all three were granted bail as it was state managed.
