Sorry, he had served earlier. For whatever Prime Minister Narendra Modi is doing for you, let’s give him a standing ovation,” Kumar said.Realising the error, Nitish Kumar, a seasoned Bihar politician, quickly attempted to recover and asked the crowd to stand and "pranam" PM Modi.Also Read | 'Nonsense’: Tejashwi Yadav rejects possibility of pact with Nitish KumarThe slip-up quickly went viral on social media and added to a growing list of incidents that have raised concerns over the Bihar chief minister's public conduct and his health.Tejashwi Yadav questions Nitish Kumar's ‘mental state’Opposition leaders, including Bihar CM's key challenger and RJD MLA Tejashwi Yadav, once again questioned his mental state and suitability to continue governing the state.Some days back, Kumar was criticised for his conduct when he placed a potted plant on the head of a senior IAS officer who gifted it to the CM during an official event.Kumar's conduct during the event garnered sharp criticism from RJD spokesperson Mrityunjay Tiwary, who said the incident was shocking and shameful."His activities are bringing shame to the state.
