Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar courted controversy by making a personal attack on Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad again. While campaigning in Kathiaron Saturday, he said Mr. Prasad did not do any work during his tenure and “only produced children”.
Without taking any names, the Mr. Kumar said, “When he was removed from the post of Chief Minister, he made his wife the Chief Minister. And now he is making all efforts to settle his children in politics. He produced so many children. There was no need for so many children. First two sons and now daughters are in politics.”
Reacting to Mr. Kumar’s statement, RJD leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav said, ”Nitish ji is a respected person and he is my guardian. He can say anything to us. He has said such things earlier also. His every word is a blessing for me.”
