Lalu parades nine rebel MLAs, says CM hatching plot

Patna, February 25
RJD president Lalu Prasad today hit the streets, accusing Chief Minister Nitish Kumar of luring his party MLAs and asserting that nine of the 13 legislators who reportedly broke away have denied parting ways.

Prasad marched to the Assembly premises along with the nine MLAs as also five other party legislators and handed over a letter to Assembly Secretary Phool Jha, demanding that Speaker Uday Narayan Chaudhary withdraw the Assembly notification recognising the breakaway faction as a separate group.

“After divorcing the BJP, Nitish Kumar has gone mad and is luring MLAs of rival parties with ministerial berths to save his minority government,” Prasad said after a legislature party meeting at the residence of former Chief Minister Rabri Devi. — PTI
