Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das on Sunday termed his Bihar counterpart Nitish Kumar as “dummy CM” and RJD supremo Lalu Prasad as the “actual CM” of Bihar.
“The way Manmohan Singh was a dummy PM, while Sonia Gandhi was the actual PM during the UPA rule at the Centre, Nitish Kumar is a dummy CM and Lalu Prasad is the actual CM in the present grand alliance government (in Bihar),” Mr. Das said, while talking to reporters on the sidelines of a function organised by the Tailik Sahu Samaj at the S.K. memorial hall to felicitate newly elected ward councillors and mayors.
He also came down heavily on Mr. Prasad for “cheating the people” in the name of social justice for the past 20-25 years.
