TIL Desk/National/Patna/ RJD supremo Lalu Prasad has attacked Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for walking out of the Grand Alliance government and said the JD(U) leader has committed “political suicide” by joining hands with the BJP.
Using words like “treacherous Man Singh” and “Ranchhor” (one who quits battle field), Prasad said, “No party in the country would any longer trust Nitish Kumar…he is politically finished now.”
“Nitish Kumar has committed political suicide by joining hands with the BJP,” Prasad told reporters. He said Kumar will not get more than two seats, which is currently with the JD(U), in the next parliamentary election.
“The BJP and the NDA would not spare their current seats from the state for him in 2019 poll,” he said. “I always considered Nitish Kumar to be more mature than me but he has proven me wrong…I feel sorry for him.”
Prasad also refuted the charge of Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi who has alleged a “nexus” between former’s family and a sand mafia. Sushil Modi had also alleged the sand mafia was “funding” RJD’s proposed rally on August 27.
