Lalu terms Nitish as BJP's puppet

Patna, Sep 15 (UNI) RJD president and Railway Minister Lalu Prasad today described Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar as a 'puppet' in the hands of the BJP.

Addressing RJD members, who were elected to different panchayat bodies in the recent polls, Mr Prasad also spoke about neighbouring Jharkhand.

''The Arjun Munda government fell due to internal bickerings among NDA partners and we had no role play in dislodging them from the seat of power,'' he declared.

''If the Nitish Kumar government faces similar situation and the government falls, how can we help it? '' he averred.
