BJP leaders on Thursday launched a counter attack on chief minister Nitish Kumar and RJD chief Lalu Prasad for calling the budget "boring" and "anti-poor".

"Lalu Prasad's influence on chief minister Nitish Kumar appears to be too deep. Nitish is searching for a separate chapter specifically on Bihar in the Union budget. Nitish had been the Union railway minister and is now the chief minister of the state for a long time. He should be aware that there is no specific budget for each state in the Union budget," said former deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi.

He asked if the state budget would have separate budgets for the 38 districts of Bihar.

Nitish on Wednesday called the budget "boring and disappointing", which has "nothing for Bihar". RJD chief Lalu Prasad, while slamming the Union budget as "anti-poor and anti-farmer", dubbed Prime Minister Narendra Modi as "India's Donald Trump".

Taking jibes at Nitish, Sushil Modi said the chief minister's speeches on the seven resolves and liquor ban were repetitive and the people of Bihar are now tired of listening to them.

Modi said Lalu did not know that Union finance minister Arun Jaitley had announced a second AIIMS for Bihar two years ago.

On Wednesday, Lalu said that Jharkhand and Gujarat were allotted second AIIMS this budget. "But despite a lapse of two years, the state government failed to provide land for the second AIIMS in Bihar," Modi said.

He added that Lalu remained a Union minister in the UPA government for five years but could not get a special status for Bihar.

"The Raghuram Rajan Committee report and the 14th Finance Commission had denied special status category for states and questioned both Nitish and Lalu for raising the issue again and again," he said.

Senior BJP leader Nand Kishore Yadav also took potshots at Lalu for comparing Narendra Modi with US President Donald Trump over religious discrimination.

"After demonetisation, the sight of some political leaders has become hazy. While the market and people are welcoming the Union budget they (the Opposition) are comparing the Prime Minister with Donald Trump. After incurring losses because of demonetisation, these leaders are now facing another shock of restriction of fictitious donations to political parties," he said.

Justifying the restrictions imposed on donations to political parties, Nand Kishore said everybody welcomed the move.

"Politicians who are running family parties are the most-affected. They are the ones who are comparing PM Modi with Donald Trump," he added.
