Opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav's promise of 10 lakh jobs and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's sharp response to it has fueled an acrimonious back-and-forth in the campaign for the Bihar election that starts next week. Yesterday, Nitish Kumar commented at a rally that his Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) rival's promise was an impossible one that no one in the world can keep. "Where will you get the money to pay the salaries? From the same scam for which you are in jail? Or will you print fake money," the Chief Minister sneered at the rally in Gopalganj, not naming Tejashwi Yadav's father Lalu Yadav, who is serving a jail term in a corruption scandal involving the swindle of government funds meant for cattle fodder.
