'Insecure' Nitish wanted to sacrifice Tejashwi, says Lalu Yadav

August 01, 2017 17:43

Rashtriya Janata Dal Chief Lalu Prasad Yadav today said that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar wanted to sacrifice his son Tejashwi Yadav out of sheer insecurity.

He claimed that Nitish got alarmed, when people started taking about Tejashwi's good work as the deputy chief minister.

"We supported Nitish Kumar, but when people started talking about my son, Tejashwi's work, he got alarmed out of insecurity and wanted to sacrifice him," said Lalu.

He also accused Nitish of being on Bharatiya Janata Party's side from the very beginning of their alliance.

"There was a fixed match between Nitish Kumar and the BJP to break mahagathbandhan and form the government in Bihar," Lalu said.

He also mentioned that, "Once Sharad Yadav had put his life on stake in an election campaign against me for Nitish."

Further lashing out at Nitish, the RJD supremo stated that only because of Mulayam Singh, the JD-U chief was allowed to become the chief minister.

"Yesterday, when he accused me and my family; I knew it was coming, as he is not a man of his words. He has also forgotten the day when I made him rule the state and join my alliance with open arms. It was only because of Mulayam Singh that I agreed to accept him in my party. But today I regret of the time spent and the moment lost," he said.
