Nitish Kumar addresses a poll rally in Bihar

Nitish Kumar on Sunday sparked a fresh controversy when he lashed out at his former ally Lalu Yadav and his “many children”. However, the family chose to respond with love.

“Now some people claim to own everything. They appointed their wives when they were evicted. Now, these days it is their children. Ab payda to bahut kar diya. Itna zyaada paya karna chahiye kisi ko, baal baccha? (Is there anyone who lives like this? Many? ) children?” Nitish Kumar addressed an election rally in Katihar in support of NDA’s Lok Sabha nominee Dural Chandra Goswami (Dulal Chandra Goswami).

While the chief minister did not mention anyone by name, his remarks seemed to be directed at Lalu Prasad’s family, which includes his wife Rabri Devi, when Prasad was arrested for the fodder scam Rabri Devi became the chief minister of Bihar when he was convicted and had to step down.

“Now they are involving their sons, daughters and everyone. They are saying something everywhere. They have forgotten the old things, so I want to tell you that in the past no work could be done. People could not get out, there were no roads or education,” Mr. Kumar further added.
