Bihar Floor Test Result Highlights: Kidnapping, horse-trading case lodged against RJD leaders

Former Bihar deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav said on Monday, "I always considered Nitish Kumar as 'Dashrath' (character from the epic ‘Ramayan’). I don't know what reasons forced him to ditch the Mahagathbandhan."

Rebel RJD MLA Chetan Anand on Monday accused the party leadership of betraying lack of confidence in legislators by insisting that they stay back at Tejashwi Yadav's house ahead of the trust vote for the Nitish Kumar government. He also alleged to have faced discrimination in the party, reported news agency PTI.

"For quite some time, my family and I have been facing discrimination in the party. It is not just about me. Even in the allocation of ministerial berths in the Mahagathbandhan government, a raw deal to Rajputs and Bhumihars was apparent," said Anand, who along with fellow RJD MLAs Neelam Devi and Prahlad Yadav voted in favour of the trust vote.
