Tensions escalated inside the Bihar Assembly on Tuesday when Chief Minister Nitish Kumar lost his cool after opposition members accused the government of ruling with the help of “guns and bullets”. The 76-year-old leader stood up to reprimand the protesting MLAs and had a brief slip of tongue while highlighting the NDA’s massive majority, stating that “our strength is two thousand and two”. The BJP-led coalition, which includes Kumar’s JD(U) and smaller allies, had secured a sweeping victory in the Bihar Assembly elections last year, winning 202 out of 243 seats.
