BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad hit out at Nitish Kumar on October 9 for defending his new ally, RJD chief Lalu Prasad, and his family members after the CBI filed a chargesheet against them, saying it is "shameful" and "unfortunate" how the Bihar chief minister has turned a blind eye to the issue of corruption.
Addressing a press conference, the former Union Minister said Mr. Kumar is "compromising the core of his life's savings" by defending Mr. Prasad and his family members in the corruption case.
The Bihar Chief Minister on Saturday voiced his disapproval of the CBI chargesheet against Mr. Prasad in a case pertaining to the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief's tenure as the railway minister.
