Nitish asks Congress to explain pact with Lalu

Bihar chief and senior leader of Janata Dal (United) Nitish Kumar questioned the logic behind the ruling Congress party allotting a front seat to Lalu Prasad, chief of Rashtriya Janata Dal that has just four members in Lok Sabha. His outburst pepped up the war of words ahead of the elections to the state legislature scheduled to be conducted in October. He further said that the people of Bihar would not elect the Lalu Prasad's party, RJD since they had suffered under his rule in the past.
