Thanking the party for its support, he said, "Thanks to my party and my president who has always supported me and I do not want to be a source of embarrassment for @NitishKumar."

He on June 11 took a dig at Home Minister Amit Shah over illegal immigration.

"Only cursing Mamata Banerjee will not work. We need to tighten our system, especially when Amit Shah ji is our Home Minister. Prevention of illegal immigration is very important. If it does not happen now, when will it be?" the JD (U) leader tweeted on June 11. 

सिर्फ़ @MamataOfficial को कोसने से काम नहीं चलेगा अपने तन्त्र को कसने की ज़रूरत हैं ख़ासकर तब जब @AmitShah जी हमारे गृह मंत्री हैं । illegal immigration पे रोक अति आवश्यक हैं । अब नहीं होगा तो कब होगा ?
