In tweets, Sharad Yadav targets Modi government over black money

Meanwhile, Lalu Prasad urged Sharat Yadav, who was reportedly upset over Kumar's decision to side with BJP, to lead the fight against “communal forces”.

Senior JD(U) leader Sharad Yadav on Sunday took a scathing attack at the BJP, his party's new ally in Bihar, for failing to deliver on its promise of bringing back black money stashed abroad.

"Neither black money stashed abroad returned, one of the main slogans of the ruling party, nor anyone caught out of those named in Panama papers," Yadav tweeted without taking any names.

He also questioned why no action had been taken against those whose names had appeared in the infamous Panama Papers.

Sharad Yadav's tweet comes days after Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar quit the grand alliance and aligned with the BJP, ostensibly over the corruption charges against RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav's son and deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav.

It is said that Yadav was upset with Nitish Kumar's decision to pull out of Grand Alliance and join hands with the BJP.

Meanwhile, Lalu Prasad urged Sharat Yadav, who was reportedly upset over Kumar's decision to side with BJP, to lead the fight against "communal forces".

On Wednesday, Nitish Kumar had resigned as Chief Minister, citing Lalu's son and his Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav's refusal to step down despite facing a corruption case. But in a span of 14 hours, he was back at the head of a new government, formed in alliance with the BJP.
