Lalu slams Nitish govt over raid on ad agency office

Patna, Jun 13: Seeking to fish in troubled waters, RJD President Lalu Yadav today criticised the Nitish Kumar government for targeting an ad agency instead of taking action against ally BJP on newspaper advertisements showing him alongside Gujarat counterpart Narendra Modi.

“The Nitish government should have taken action against the BJP on whose behest the advertisement was published and not against the ad company which did the marketing job”, he said at a meeting of party leaders here.

Prasa contested the claim of his arch-rival Kumar that the ad agency should have taken prior permission before using his photograph, saying there was no need for it as the content of the advertisement was factually correct.
