Patna, (Bihar Times): RJD chief and railway minister Lalu Prasad ridiculed the BJP Rajya Sabha MP Dr C P Thakur’s move to recommend Nobel Peace Prize to the Bihar chief minister, Nitish Kumar.

It needs to be mentioned that a couple of days back a voluntary organization run by Dr Thakur “recommended” Nitish for the Nobel Peace Prize. Lalu said he had coined a term TTM: Tabar Tor Malish, for such actions.

Speaking at a function here on Monday Lalu regretted the decline of standards in politics and rise in sycophancy. Without naming Thakur, Lalu lamented the fact that an MP and former Union minister, who was awarded Padma Shri, had “recommended” Nobel Peace Prize to Nitish Kumar.

On Thakur’s argument that the Nobel Prize should be given to Nitish because he implemented RTI in Bihar the railway minister said the whole world knows that it was the UPA government which got RTI implemented throughout the country.

Taking a potshot at Thakur the railway minister said that perhaps the Rajya Sabha MP has his eye on the Patna seat. If he is fielded, it will become easier for RJD MP Ram Kripal Yadav to win, he said.

Lalu once again reiterated that he had given projects worth Rs 55,000 crore to Bihar. He hoped that there would be a turnaround in Bihar and things would improve because of this massive investment by railways. The state would soon become a hub of economic activities and Bihari youths would no longer have to face humiliation outside the state while seeking jobs. He predicted that instead outsiders would come to Bihar.
