While addressing the Assembly, Tejashwi Yadav said, "Nitish Kumar should resign himself. Even before him, my father (Lalu Yadav) became an MP. He could not have become CM without us giving the 'Samarthan Patra'. He should go to an ashram, as he cannot run the government. What is he doing with the future of 14 crore people? Nitish Kumar's condition is not stable."

CM Nitish Kumar Accuses RJD Of Promoting Dynastic Politics

A political controversy broke out during the Assembly session on March 7 after Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar accused the RJD of promoting dynastic politics. He targeted Lalu Prasad Yadav for appointing his wife, Rabri Devi, as Chief Minister in 1997 after he was jailed in connection with the fodder scam.

"You (RJD leaders) are from the party in which a husband made his wife the CM. They (RJD) have made you (women MLAs of RJD) the MLA, but have you done any work for women? How much work have we done for women? Do you people (RJD) understand that? You people are in the party which has done nothing for women," Nitish Kumar had said in the Assembly.

In 1997, Lalu Prasad Yadav was compelled to step down as Chief Minister following an arrest warrant in the fodder scam case, after which he appointed his wife, Rabri Devi, as his successor.
