RJD chief Lalu Prasad today dared the BJP to "come clean" on support to Bihar Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi in the current political imbroglio in the state.   

"I dare the BJP to come clean on its support to Manjhi. It should tell clearly how far it will go with him. Hiding behind the curtain or staying behind the scene is not good," he said.   

"Manjhi met Prime Minister Narendra Modi last evening and his tone changed after the meeting. It seems from his statements that the BJP is involved in the political game that is happening," Prasad said.   

The RJD supremo was talking to reporters at his 10 ,Circular Road residence in Patna after meeting Bihar Governor Keshri Nath Tripathi. He arrived from New Delhi this afternoon and went to the Raj Bhawan with Nitish Kumar to express his support to the JD-U.   

"We -- RJD and JD-U -- have always supported Dalits and Mahadalits. This is the reason that Kumar chose Manjhi as the chief minister...," he said.
