Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday responded to Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav’s “door is always open” remark for him and said, “I don’t pay attention to who says what. Things were not going well, so I left them (RJD).”
“We will now investigate whatever went wrong in between,” he added.
Days after Nitish Kumar exited the ‘Mahagathbandhan’ alliance in Bihar and joined hands with old ally BJP, Lalu Prasad Yadav on Friday, said his doors are always open for the JD(U) chief if he decides to come back.
Speaking about giving another chance to Nitish Kumar, Lalu Yadav said, “Let him come back, we will see then (jab aaenge tab dekha jaaega).”
He said the doors were always open for Nitish, who ditched him for the second time, leading to his son Tejashwi Yadav losing the deputy chief minister’s post twice.
“Doors are always open (darwaza toh khula hi rehta hai),” he said.
JD(U) chief spokesman and MLC Neeraj Kumar responded to Lalu Yadav’s comment ruling out the possibility of a possible return.
“Lalu ji says the doors are still open. He should know that the famous padlock of Aligarh has been placed on the doors. Our leader Nitish Kumar has clearly said whenever RJD has shared power with us, it has engaged in corruption. There is no question of going back,” Neeraj Kumar said.
