Nitish has conceded defeat: Lalu
Patna,(BiharTimes): Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Yadav has said that the chief minister, Nitish Kumar, has conceded defeat even before the fight has begun as he had decided not to contest the assembly election.
He has done because he knows that he will lose. Had he been confident of victory he would have said that “I am prepared to contest from any seat in the state.”
He said that Nitish Kumar is now always engaged in tantra-mantra. He visited Singheshwarsthan and anther temple in Samastipur. There is nothing wrong in it. It gives inner-strength.
“But when I used to offer prayer they used to mock me. These days he is himself busy in organizing havans. I will reveal it later on. I will in fact bring the priest in front of you all,” he told reporters on Thursday.
He also took a dig at the deputy chief minister, Sushil Kumar Modi, who also wants to make a backdoor entry. Both Nitish and Modi are members of the Legislative Council and Nitish on Wednesday announced that he may not contest from any assembly constituteny in the coming election.
Lalu said that all these rituals would not help Nitish and he should start looking for a house because after elections he will be out of 1 Aney Marg, which is the official residence of the Bihar chief minister.
Lalu made it clear that once RJD-LJP alliance comes to power he would contest election from any assembly constituency of Bihar.
He said he is not a backdoor politician like Nitish and Sushil Kumar Modi.
Nitish, on the other hand said, now that Lalu Prasad has declared the results of the Assembly election, he should go to Raj Bhavan and stake claim to form the government.
Perhaps he can pretend to become the chief minister just the way he pretended to be the Prime Minister after the Parliament session was over.
Nitish said that he came to realise about Lalu’s superstitious belief when he moved to 1 Aney Marg.
Nitish recalled that Lalu had taunted him for eating biscuits during the full eclipse last year.
He said Bihar was not the only state to face drought last year. Lalu should explain who had eaten biscuits which caused drought in all those states.
