Lalu Prasad Yadav said no to Nitish for alliance
RJD chief Lalu Prasad has said that Bihar chief minister nitish kumar wanted to return in "mahagathbandhan" but lalu refused is offer because he said "he had lost trust on him".the former Bihar CM has also added that Nitish Kumar sent ice-president and confidante Prashant Kishor as an emissary to him on five different occasions, attempting on each occasion, to convince Lalu to facilitate Kumar’s re-entry into the “secular” fold. “Kishor seemed to indicate that if I were to assure in writing my party’s support to JDU, the latter would pull out of the BJP alliance and rejoin the mahagathbandhan. Though I was not bitter with Nitish, I had lost trust in him completely. Moreover, I was not sure how the people who had for the grand alliance in 2015, and the other parties that had united against the BJP all over the country, would react if I accepted Kishor’s offer,” Lalu has said in his forthcoming book ‘Gopalganj to Raisina: My Political Journey , co-authored by Nalin Verma and to be published by Rupa Publications India.
Scrambling to his father's aid, RJD leader Tejaswi Yadav backed Lalu's claims and said, "Nitish Kumar sent messages to my father, to me and various Congress leaders with a slew of deals within six months of allying with BJP." Sharpening his attack at Kishor, he further questioned the JD(U) leader's intention. "Does Kishor meet anyone without an agenda?", he said, adding that Kumar will never be accepted back, "even if he chooses to join the mahagthbandhan today".
