‘Nitish can go back to Lalu to stay in power’: Chirag Paswan

“He (Nitish) is not going to relinquish his chair so easily. After poll results, Nitish Kumar may also stand before Tejashwi with folded hands just as he has been doing at PM Narendra Modi’s rallies. If there is a need, he might go to Ranchi jail to meet Lalu Prasad,” he added.

The LJP chief later took a dig at Nitish Kumar’s decision to declare these elections his last on Twitter. “Nitish Kumar calls this his last election. He did not give any account of the work he did in the last five years to people of Bihar and now he has said he would not come back to give any account either. So do not bless those who would not return to seek your blessings. In the next elections, there will be no JD(U) or Nitish Kumar….”

Responding to Chirag’s attack, JD(U) national spokesperson KC Tyagi told The Indian Express: “The LJP is a party that has changed its political allegiance election after election. It has no moral right to give us sermons. What will happen to the LJP (after the polls)?”
