Bharatiya Janata Party State president Samrat Choudhary on Thursday taunted the frequent visits made by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to the residence of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Prasad. Mr. Choudhary alleged that Mr. Kumar visits 10, Circular Road to pay his obeisance to Mr. Prasad. He further claimed that although Mr. Kumar is the Chief Minister of State it is in reality Mr. Prasad who runs a de facto “super government”.
Launching a scathing attack on the RJD and the Janata Dal (United), Mr. Choudhary accused Mr. Kumar of allowing the operation of multiple governments in the State. “In the last one month, meetings between Mr. Kumar and Mr. Prasad have increased manifold. Sometimes, Mr. Kumar visits the official residence of former Bihar CM Rabri Devi and, and at other times, Mr. Prasad visits 1, Aney Marg, the official residence of Mr. Kumar,” he said.
“Nitish Kumar is the Chief Minister in Bihar but Lalu Prasad is running a super government along with his family members. This includes his wife Rabri Devi, daughter Misa Bharti, and even Rohini Acharya is running the government from Singapore. Nitish ji goes to worship at the feet of Lalu ji. He has no choice except running the government as per the wish of Mr. Prasad, and so he visits there to take his marching orders,” Mr. Choudhary alleged while interacting with the media at the BJP party office.
