Lalu’s stir against price rise a political stunt:Nitish

Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar has termed parliamentarian and RJD president Lalu Prasad’s protests against price rise a mere political stunt.

“Lalu Prasad’s agitations against price rise is a mere political stunt. He has nothing to do with the issues of the masses”, Kumar said today.

Stating that his rival was not serious towards the people’s issues, Kumar remarked, “He (Lalu Prasad) is hand in glove with the UPA government at the centre. Had he been really serious towards the issues of the poor, he would have withdrawn support to the UPA”.

Lalu’s RJD has protested twice on the street in the past there months over shooting inflation in the country.

The RJD blames both the Manmohan Singh-led UPA govenrment at the centre and the NDA government in Bihar for the price rise.
