Bihar Politics News: Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav on Wednesday (January 2) said he is ready to “forgive and welcome” Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar into opposition party INDIA. Lalu Yadav said that our doors are open (for Nitish). They should also open their doors. This will make the movement of people on both sides easier. Meanwhile, reacting to the RJD chief’s comment, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar did not give any positive reply. According to news agency PTI, in response to journalists’ questions about Prasad’s offer, the JDU chief simply said, “What are you saying?”
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar did not give any direct answer to the question of Lalu Yadav receiving an offer to join the Grand Alliance in the viral video on social media. He only said, ‘Leave all these things…’. CM Nitish Kumar had arrived at his swearing-in ceremony with Governor Arif Mohammad Khan on Thursday.
What did Lalu say?
While talking to a YouTube channel, when a journalist asked Lalu whether the doors are open for Nitish Kumar on the New Year? On this, the RJD chief had said, “Our door is open for Nitish, Nitish should also be kept open. He is the Chief Minister… If Nitish comes, why won’t he take us along? We will take him along… Nitish should come along. Work. Nitish Kumar runs away, but we will forgive all the mistakes.”
