Lalu Attacks Nitish.

At the 122nd birth anniversary celebration of Bihar's first Chief Minister Sri Krishna Sinha organized by the All India Brahmarshi Samaj in Patna on Wednesday, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav reiterated his assertion that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was out to grab their properties in the name of land reforms.

"After facing humiliating defeats in the last Assembly by-polls, the Chief Minister changed his tune about implementing the recommendations made in the Bandhopadhyaya Commission report. People, however, should not be misled by Nitish Kumar's tricks because his game plan is to first refuse to implement the commission's recommendations and just when you think you were safe, he would take away your land after the next state elections," the RJD leader said brimming with confidence.

Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) president Ram Vilas Paswan who was also present on the occasion, however, came up with the strangest metaphor of the afternoon when he compared both Nitish Kumar and Lalu Prasad Yadav to snakes.

"While the RJD president is a snake without poison, Nitish is full of venom," Paswan said much to the shock of many RJD leaders.

Resorting to the old caste-based divide and rule tactics, Paswan said that Nitish had insulted the Bhumihars and the voters' must teach him a lesson in the next year's Assembly elections.

Former LJP leader now with Janata Dal (U), legislator Sanjay Singh shot back at both Yadav and Paswan saying the two were like chameleons who would say or do anything to come back in power.

"After years of insulting the Brahmins, Bhumihars, and Kayasthas by giving them a derogatory term like 'Bhoora Baal', Lalu is now trying to win back their support. Does he really think that the people of Bihar have forgotten everything and have forgiven him for his past sins? He will find out the answer in the next Assembly polls in Bihar," the JD-U leader said.

Singh also accused Yadav of tacitly supporting those who were involved in a number of massacres during the infamous Lalu-Rabri rule in Bihar.

"He wanted to finish the upper caste to establish his hegemony and that is why he never visited the families of the victims of Senari and Bara carnages," the JD-U leader said adding it was Lalu Prasad who single-handedly drove out upper caste people from Bihar.
