Lalu’s absence at ‘Prakash Parv’ triggers row

TIL Desk/National/Patna/ Lalu Prasad not getting a seat on the dais with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar at the ‘Prakash Parv’ here yesterday has left the ‘grand alliance’ government partners–RJD and Congress–livid.

In the RJD’s firing line was Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who came in for fulsome praise from the Prime Minister over prohibition and arrangements made for the 350th birth anniversary celebration of Guru Gobind Singh, the 10th Sikh Guru, Congress targeted Modi for the purported slight.

“It did not look like the arrangements to mark Guru Gobind Singhji Maharaj’s 350th Prakash Parv were made by the alliance government. Rather, it looked more like they were made by one party in power,” RJD vice president and former Union Minister Raghuvansh Prasad Singh told.

“This (Lalu not being accommodated on the dais) has not gone down well with the people. Lalu Prasad was made to sit below (the dais). Everybody praised Nitish Kumar for making the grand arrangements. Was RJD not part of the management for the preparations and arrangements for the Prakash Parv celebrations?” he asked.
