Nitish nursing prime ministerial ambition: Lalu

October 04, 2012 15:15

Describing the special status demand for Bihar as Nitish Kumar's pet political agenda to boost his career, RJD supremo Lalu Prasad today said that the chief minister was nursing an ambition to become the prime minister of the country.

"The special status demand is nothing but a personal and political agenda of the chief minister.....he wants to ride this agenda to become the PM of the country," he told reporters after reaching Bhagalpur to undertake 'Parivartan yatra' in the district.

However, the prime ministerial ambition will merely prove to be a mirage for Kumar as the people of Bihar have "belatedly realised their mistake of having re-elected the NDA to power which was embroiled in corruption," Prasad said.
