Predicting doomsday for BJP, Nitish said: "Vinash kale vipreet buddhi (When destruction is near, one acts with a deluded mind)".

Nitish, who mostly attacks his political rivals with phrases and one-liners, said: "We saw it coming and were right in snapping ties with the BJP at opportune time. The BJP could only help the Congress and other parties with this move."
Though Nitish continued to not take Modi's name, he said the BJP alone was responsible for weakening the anti-Congress platform.

Without naming L K Advani, he said: "The party that cannot respect its leaders cannot lead to anywhere."
It was Nitish who had first protested the possible naming of Modi as the PM candidate in June 2012, demanding a "NDA PM with secular and clean image". He had later added that "golden words are not repeated". In June 2010, he cancelled a dinner for BJP leaders after the Gujarat government ad showing Nitish and Modi together.
