Patna,(BiharTimes): Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq on Saturday strongly criticized the leader of All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen, Asaduddin Owaisi, for “talking like a fool.”

Praising chief minister Nitish Kumar and RJD chief Lalu Prasad he said “Your chief minister is very good and by the grace of God both Nitish and Lalu have come together for the development of the state.”

Farooq said when he had come to Bihar in 1980s for election campaign the condition of roads was pathetic. Poverty was rampant. But today they have all changed.
