Making a scathing attack at Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for playing down the defeat in Maharajganj by-poll, RJD President Lalu Prasad today said he should quit as people had rejected his governance.

"Nitish Kumar had told the people during campaigning in Maharajganj that if they are satisfied with his governance they should vote for NDA else do not. People have rejected him by voting against JD(U) candidate showing they are not satisfied with his rule," Prasad told reporters.

Prasad was reacting to Kumar's statement that RJD had merely retained the Maharajganj seat which was with them in the last general elections. The RJD chief asked Kumar to quit as people had rejected his governance.
