Patna, April 27: Accusing Lalu Prasad of “being hand-in-glove” with Centre on the issue of price rise, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today said the RJD chief’s support to ‘Bharat bandh’ was “nothing but an eyewash”.
“In fact, Prasad is not honest on the issue of price rise. On one hand, he is continuing support to UPA at Centre and on the other he is engaged in high political drama by launching an agitation against Centre on the issue of price rise,” Kumar told reporters here.
He accused Prasad of being “hand-in-glove” with the Centre and said had he been serious he should have withdrawn his party’s support to the Congress-led government at the Centre.
“I do not want to sermon Left parties, but I can say at this stage that Prasad is not a man to be relied upon in the given circumstances,” he said.
