They are distancing themselves from their language, Kumar interrupted, when people learn words through smartphones. Is it England, Kumar questioned the farmer. Your language should be used since you have been conversing with farmers in Bihar and Bharat, Nitish Kumar said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As per the reports, the Chief Minister of Bihar carried out unannounced inspections at several government offices and discovered that a considerable number of ministers from his cabinet were missing in action. The observations revealed that while the majority of the ministers belonging to his party, JD(U), were present, a significant number of ministers from his alliance party, RJD, were found to be absent, the reports added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to reports, the development occurred amidst speculations that CM Kumar may switch alliances and join the BJP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the G20 event, the Prime Minister cordially introduced Nitish Kumar to none other than the esteemed US President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was worth noting that this was the initial encounter between PM Modi and Nitish Kumar following the latter\u2019s party, JD(U), ending its affiliation with the BJP last year.
