Bihar CM Nitish Kumar wants to break ties with BJP: RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav

PATNA: RJD supremo Lalu Prasad today said 'all was not not well' in ruling NDA in Bihar and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was now 'plotting' to break ties with BJP.

"Nitish is trying to get rid of BJP and is thus trying to engineer split in the LJP (an ally of the RJD)," Prasad told reporters here.

He was commenting on the recent merger of LJP legislature party in the state legislative council with JD(U).

"Now two of the three LJP MLAs have written to the speaker to recognise them as ruling JD(U) members in the state assembly," Prasad said these actions reflected that Kumar wanted JD(U) to have majority in the state assembly on its own.

To another question, he ruled out the possibility of a split in his party following the recent desertions. "Our party MLAs are united and stand like a rock against the NDA in Bihar."
