Nitish cannot stop Modi from entering Bihar: Rabri

October 22, 2013 01:05

RJD leader Rabri Devi has said that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar does not have the strength to stop Narendra Modi from coming to Bihar, the way her husband Lalu Prasad Yadav had stopped L K Advani during his rath yatra in 1990.

"Lalu Prasad had the guts to stop the rath of L K Advani but Nitish Kumar does not have the strength to stop Narendra Modi," she was quoted as saying by party spokesman Randhir Yadav.

Advani was arrested on October 23, 1990 at Samastipur in Bihar by the then government of Lalu Prasad when the BJP patriarch was on his way to Ayodhya from Somnath via central India to garner support for the Ayodhya temple.

Hitting out at BJP too, Rabri Devi, who has been chosen by RJD leaders to 'guide' the party in the absence of her jailed husband Lalu Prasad, said notwithstanding the hue and cry raised by the party leaders, Narendra Modi would have "no impact" in Bihar.
