Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, famous for his English, has attacked Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar in his own style.
He has used the word ‘Snollygoster’ for the latest political developments on Sunday.
Kumar has left the Grand Alliance and rejoined the NDA i.e. National Democratic Alliance. On Sunday, he took oath as the CM of Bihar for the 9th time.
what is the matter
Tharoor on Sunday re-shared the social media post made on July 27, 2017. According to this nearly 7-year-old post, ‘The word of the day is Snollygoster.’
He had informed that it was used for the first time in 1845. The special thing is that during that time Nitish Kumar had separated from the Grand Alliance.
The Congress MP wrote on Sunday, ‘I did not know that someday this would become a special word.’ Actually, this word means a politician who is clever but unprincipled.
Earlier in 2019, when Bharatiya Janata Party leader Devendra Fadnavis briefly formed the government in Maharashtra with Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Ajit Pawar, Tharoor had also used this word for the BJP leader.
“This (Nitish Kumar’s exit from opposition alliance ‘India’) is certainly a shock in Bihar but the reality is that there are ups and downs in politics,” Tharoor told PTI on the sidelines of an event here. I think in many ways this will further strengthen the determination of the people in Bihar as well as elsewhere to fight in the right way for the right things.
He said, ‘The problem is that some individuals have not been able to clearly decide where they stand on the political spectrum and what they want to see happen in this country.’
