TIWN
Patna, July 3 (TIWN) Taking a jibe at Nitish Kumar, RJD chief Lalu Prasad said the JD-U leader "passed examination with a third division" and went on to become the chief minister of Bihar. The remark was a reference to the seats won by the Janata Dal-United (JD-U) in the 2020 Bihar Assembly election.
Nitish Kumar-led JD-U managed to bag only 40 seats in the last year's Assembly election, and finished with a third position. The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) got 75 seats while the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured 74 seats. "Nitish became chief minister of Bihar after putting morality and mandate aside... its result is now coming in the form of their own legislators and ministers levelling corruption charges on the government," Lalu Prasad said in a tweet.
