'Bharat Ratna for CM Nitish Kumar' posters put up outside JD(U) party office in Patna

A number of posters demanding a Bharat Ratna for Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar were put up outside the party's office in Patna, ANI reported on Saturday.

The news has drawn criticism from social media users, with one saying, "Want #bharatratan for changing his alliance to retain CM chair and the record collapsing of bridges in his state."

Kumar is currently under pressure after political strategist-turned-activist Prashant Kishor on Wednesday announced the launch of his political outfit Jan Suraaj Party, a much-anticipated move by which he hopes to take the political landscape in Bihar by storm.
