Lalu should concentrate on work now : Nitish

Patna, Dec 18 (UNI) Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today suggested his political rival, Railway Minister Lalu Prasad now concentrate on his work.

Talking to newsmen here, Mr Kumar, however, refused to comment on the special CBI court verdict discharging Mr Prasad and his wife and former Chief Minister Rabri Devi in connection with the Disproportionate Asset case.

Noting that Mr Prasad was camping here for the past ten days as the final verdict in the DA case was scheduled for today, the Chief Minister now suggested that Mr Prasad should concentrate on his ministerial work.

Avoiding any comment on the judgment, which acquitted Mr Prasad and his wife Rabri Devi, Mr Kumar said the central agency investigated the matter as it was related to the Union government, and the state government was nowhere in the picture.
