Hitting out at the BJP after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) raided the residences of two Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leaders, former chief minister and RJD leader Rabri Devi said the Nitish Kumar and Tejashwi Prasad Yadav-led government was not afraid. “This isn’t happening for the first time,” she told news agency ANI.
The veteran RJD leader alleged that the BJP was scared since Nitish Kumar exited their alliance only to rejoin the Mahagathbandhan. “All parties, except BJP, with us. We’ve the majority,” she said. “CBI (raid) is just to scare us. We won’t be scared.”
