Nitish a bulb sans filament - RJD

Patna, Nov 18 (UNI) Reacting sharply to the statement of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar in which he had dubbed RJD chief as a ''fuse bulb'', the RJD today described Mr Kumar as a bulb sans ''filament''.

RJD national general secretary-cum-spokesperson Shyam Rajak said here that Mr Kumar and the JD(U) MP Shivanand Tiwari were issuing irrelevant statements against Mr Prasad, which indicated that both of the leaders had lost their inner moral strength.

He suggested that both leaders should concenrate on the developmental works and provide the real light to the people of the state instead of attacking the RJD.

Mr Kumar should realise the actual situation, Mr Rajak said adding the NDA came to power following political calculations and not with the support of people.

With the demands for en-mass resignation of the MPs and MLAs on the Maharashtra issue, Mr Tiwari was scared of losing his Rajya Sabha membership, Mr Rajak alleged saying out of fear Mr Tiwari had lost his ''mental balance'' and was indulging in issuing statements.

Mr Rajak further said it was Mr Tiwari who during his days in the RJD used to describe Mr Kumar as''spineless' leader.
