On Nitish Kumar’s visit to Rabri Devi’s residence, Lalu’s elder son fuels a buzz

Patna, Apr 23: The visit by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to the residence of former Rabri Devi's home on Friday has set tongues wagging. Several questions have been raised asking if Nitish Kumar is sending a message to the BJP, its coalition partner in Bihar.

The visit came just hours after Rabri Devi's husband, Lalu Prasad Yadav was granted bail. Lalu's son, Tejashwi dismissed the buzz, but his elder brother Tej Pratap fuelled some speculation.
