Nitish greedy, wants to remain in power till death: Lalu Yadav

TIL Desk/National/Patna/ Targeting erstwhile alliance partner and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav has said the state government must spell out details of every penny “embezzled” by a Bhagalpur-based NGO in Srijan scam case.

“Nitish government will have to give details of every penny that was embezzled by Srijan in the state’s ‘maha ghotala’ (mega scam),” he said.

The RJD chief exhorted the people who had gathered at a rally at Sandis compound here to register their protest over the Srijan scam by participating in “dharnas” to be held at every district headquarter town on September 12.

Lalu also wondered why FIRs were not registered against Nitish Kumar, Sushil Kumar Modi, Ashwini Choubey (Union minister) and others in the scam, which is nothing short of a ‘maha ghotala’.

Mounting a scathing attack on the chief minister, the RJD supremo said Nitish Kumar was not only a “Paltu Ram” (one who switches sides), but “a greedy person who wants to remain in power till his death.”

Alleging that Nitish used to stay at the residence of one “Mishra” in Bhagalpur, Lalu questioned the credentials of the person. The former railway minister said that they (BJP-JD(U)) failed to defeat him (lalu), so they were now targeting his son Tejashwi Prasad Yadav.
