Unfazed by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s snide remark against him for joining Twitter, RJD president Lalu Prasad on Sunday said change was the law of nature and one could ignore youth power at own peril.

Nitish ji badlaw prakiti ka niyam hain. Apke liye badlaw is roop me pahchanana jaroori hain. Aap naye log ko ignore nahi kar sakte hain...yuva takat hain (Nitish ji change is law of nature. You have to identify this change. You cannot ignore new generation as youth is a big force),” Mr. Lalu said in his tweet on the micro blogging site.

He told Mr. Kumar to wait and see how wisdom of old and energy of youth would combine through the use of twitter to bring a change in the State.

Nitish takes potshots Taking potshots at his rival for appearing on Twitter, Mr. Kumar on Saturday at a function also attended by Mr. Lalu, said” “Some people of the old generation are also becoming victim of latest fads of social media.”

“One can understand that it is a fashion among younger generation but its unimaginable that people of older generation have also started practising it ... One should draw a line somewhere,” Mr. Kumar had said.
