RJD chief Lalu Prasad slams JD(U) over misrule in Bihar, coins 'Oust Nitish in 2020' slogan for Assembly polls

Firstpost  

Patna: RJD chief Lalu Prasad on Saturday gave a call to oust Chief Minister Nitish Kumar from power in Bihar in 2020, while mounting a scathing attack on the JD government for its “misrule”. The former chief minister, who is lodged in a Ranchi jail in connection with fodder scam cases, also said the Central Government has given “zero” to the dispensation in Bihar, referring to a recent NITI Aayog report. Prasad flayed the state government for being a “big failure” in the Sustainable Development Goal Index report released by the Niti Aayog on December 30 last year. “Both Niti Aayog and the central government have given zero to Nitish’s misrule by declaring it as the worst in the country,” the RJD boss claimed.
