After Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar questioned the whereabouts of Tejashwi Yadav and his absence from Bihar during the crisis, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav hit back at Nitish Kumar alleging that during the pandemic every CM has moved out of their official residence but for Nitish Kumar to enquire about the well being of the people and inspect the health infrastructure in Bihar.

Before leaving for Ranchi to meet his father Lalu Yadav on the occasion of his birthday on June 11, Tejashwi while talking to media in Patna attacked Nitish Kumar. He said: "Every CM has stepped out of the house but for Nitish Kumar - Bihar CM is absent despite his presence in Patna for the past 85 days. CM is the leader, and he should enquire about the well being of the people and health infrastructure. Why is there less testing in Bihar? There is no infrastructure in Bihar. Nitish Kumar's Goonda MLA Pappu Pandey can come out, why can't Nitish Kumar?"
