‘You are Brahma’: RJD MP Manoj Jha’s scathing jibe at Nitish Kumar over ‘I made Lalu’ remark

Hindustan Times  

Rajya Sabha MP and Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Manoj Jha on Wednesday took a swipe at Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar, calling him “creator of the universe” and “Brahma.” RJD MP Manoj Jha addresses a press conference at the party office, in Patna. Jha's remarks came a day after Nitish Kumar, in a bitter exchange in the Bihar assembly, took a dig at RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, claiming credit for elevating his father Lalu Yadav in the state's politics. You were in Lalu ji's team, you were called Lalu ji's man.” Jha argued that Tejaswi Yadav was speaking in the House about contemporary challenges in Bihar, and Nitish Kumar allegedly had no response. Earlier on Tuesday, Tejashwi Yadav had compared the previous government in Bihar, led by his father and former chief minister Lalu Prasad, with that of Nitish Kumar.
