Patna, September 22: Taking a strong exception to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar describing RJD chief Lalu Prasad as “king of terror”, the party today said it would move Election Commission seeking action against the JD-U leader for breaching model code of conduct in place for Bihar Assembly polls.
“Though the model code of conduct bars the leaders from making personal comments against rivals, Kumar has violated its provisions by making objectionable comments against Prasad and even taking his name,” RJD spokespersons Ram Kripal Yadav and Shakeel Ahmed Khan told reporters here.
The Chief Minister’s diatribe against the RJD president has crossed the level of decency. We will write to EC demanding action against Kumar for breaching model code of conduct, they said.
