Cong not inviting Lalu to rallies is a smart strategy: Nitish

April 08, 2014 18:29

JD (U) supremo and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today described the Congress' move of not inviting its alliance partner RJD chief Lalu Prasad to its rallies as a 'smart strategy' and said that the love between the two associates was intact.

"Do not read much into such things... It's part of their smart strategy," Kumar said referring to Lalu not being invited to the recent rallies of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi in Sasaram and Aurangabad respectively.

How could Rahul Gandhi embrace Lalu Prasad in the public when he had tore the ordinance on tainted MPs that led Prasad to jail in the fodder scam case, Kumar said.
