‘Nitish was irked by good work done by my sons': Rabri Devi

Nitish on Wednesday severed ties with the RJD and walked out of the Grand Alliance in Bihar over graft charges on Lalu Yadav's son Tejashwi Yadav.

Former Bihar chief minister and Tejashwi Yadav's mother, Rabri Devi launched a scathing attack on Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and accused the JD (U) chief of 'targeting' her sons.

Nitish on Wednesday severed ties with the RJD and walked out of the Grand Alliance in Bihar over graft charges on Lalu Yadav's son Tejashwi Yadav. Nitish resigned from his CM's post, but was reinstated the very next day with BJP's support.

"My sons were his target, they were moving forward and doing good work that was being appreciated, so he conspired with BJP," Rabri Devi told news agency ANI.

Speaking on graft charges against Tejashwi, she said, "Who does not have property? Will Nitish Kumar and other politicians agree for a probe into their properties? Why after Lalu's family?"

Tejashwi Yadav told ANI that the mandate of people of Bihar was against the BJP and accused Nitish of cheating them.

"Those who voted for the grand alliance are feeling cheated today, who is responsible for this?" he said.

Lalu Yadav, on his part, said Nitish was most vocal in calling for a 'Sangh mukt Bharat'.

Nitish Kumar, who was sworn as Bihar Chief Minister for the 6th time on Thursday, proved his majority in the Bihar Assembly on Friday by getting the support of 131 legislators.
