Patna, June 18: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today alleged that RJD president Lalu Prasad encouraged cross-voting by MLAs of rival parties in the Rajya Sabha polling.
Kumar was referring to the cross-voting by two RJD MLAs – Rajesh Singh and Raj Kishore Yadav alias Pappu Yadav – in favour of the JD (U) nominees.
He, however, noted that the RJD chief ended up on the losing side with two RJD MLAs voting for the JD(U) nominees.
Kumar lauded the political maturity of the voters in electing the five candidates.
