Mamata should be allowed to lead INDIA bloc: RJD chief Lalu Prasad

New Indian Express  

Addressing a Congress function in Khagaria district, Alam had said, “In politics, nobody is a big brother or a little brother. In the assembly polls, the number of seats each party would contest must be decided on the basis of several factors, including the respective strike rates in the Lok Sabha elections”. Alam's aggressive stance could also be seen in the backdrop of the bad blood that had been created between the two parties, notwithstanding the excellent personal rapport Prasad shared with the Nehru-Gandhi family, as the RJD had unilaterally fielded candidates in a number of seats the Congress was hopeful of contesting. Congress legislative party leader Shakil Ahmed Khan said,"Lalu ji is known to say lots of things casually. Does he want Rahul Gandhi to be replaced as Leader of the Opposition, a post our leader holds by virtue of the party's strength in the Lok Sabha?” Khan also pointed out, "When the INDIA bloc was formed, there was a proposal to make Bihar Chief Minister and JD supremo Nitish Kumar the convenor.
