Patna city of Bihar was ripped off by the poster of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar overnight. In these posters, Nitish Kumar has been described as the missing and invisible Chief Minister. Many such posters have been put up all over Patna city and Nitish Kumar's photo is also included in it. These posters also targeted Nitish Kumar's silence on the Citizenship Amendment Act and the National Register of Citizens (NRC).
It is not yet known who has installed the posters. Nitish Kumar's JDU recently voted in favor of Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) in both houses of Parliament. There were voices of protest within the party about this. The bill was opposed by JDU vice-president Prashant Kishore, general secretaries Pawan Sharma and Ghulam Rasool Baliabi.
However, Nitish Kumar himself has not officially said anything about this bill. Recently, Prashant Kishore told reporters after meeting him that the Chief Minister (Nitish Kumar) is not in favor of NRC.
Prashant Kishore had said that if there is no NRC then there is no problem with the CAB (now CAA). As Home Minister Amit Shah said that it is a bill to grant citizenship, not to take it but when you add it to NRC it becomes divisive.
