“Never in the history of Bihar, people were lynched like this. When Laluji was CM, he himself used to go to riot-affected areas to take action against the culprits” he said. On the possibility of forming alliance with Janata Dal (United), he said “it was for the first time we trusted Nitish Kumar and he in return cheated us. We will never form an alliance with him again. I am sure he will not become the chief minister of Bihar again.”
Commenting about RBI Governor and CBI Director’s resignation, he said “Have you ever witnessed RBI Governor resigning like this and a CBI Director being removed in this manner? My father Lalu did not bow down to these fascist forces and that’s the reason he is in jail”
On fresh speculation about a rift in his family, he said “What happens in my house is not of public interest. What matters to the country is the inefficiency of the ruling government.”
Speculations have been rife that the elder brother has been uneasy over the growing clout of the younger one within the party, who was named as the RJD's chief ministerial candidate, more than a year ago. After the party lost power because of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar'ss exit from the ruling alliance, Tejashwi was designated the leader of opposition in the state assembly.
