Nitish Abandons Lalu: What Transpired In These 20 Months Of The Failed Alliance

Calling Nitish Kumar an “opportunist”, RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav lashed out at the Bihar Chief Minister for ‘deceiving’ him and joining hands with BJP. “I considered him as my younger brother and told him he could be the CM. People asked me what I would do if I got more number of seats. If I was greedy, I would not have let him be the CM,” Lalu said at the press conference. “Hum boley Shankar bhagwan ki tarah jao, raaj karo, par yeh toh Bhasmasur nikla.” Lalu Prasad reminded Nitish about his promise to never join hands with the BJP again and alleged that he forgot the “anti-communal” goals of the grand alliance. “Nitish said he’d do anything but join hands with BJP,” he said. “The mandate was against BJP, to throw out Modi-Shah out of Bihar. They said I was a beef eater. Nitish Kumar is huge opportunist.”
