Even as Bihar CM Nitish Kumar will have to prove his majority in the Assembly tomorrow, his former ally in the mahagathbandhan, RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, is holding a press conference in Ranchi railing against the Nitish's new ally, the BJP. Excerpts...

"Nitish Kumar bolte the ki mai mitti me miljaaunga lekin BJP se haath nahi milaaunga. Nitish Kumar is a huge opportunist.

"Some media who we had thought were good, they took supari. See how the US media is fighting Trump, here media fights opposition. Amit Shah is the Super Editor, he decides how news should be & he tells owners of media, who tells editors, not reporters fault

"On many occasions, Nitish Kumar met PM Modi, had lunch. The timing of whatever happened was already fixed. Hum boley Shankar bhagwan ki tarah jao, raaj karo, par yeh toh Bhasmasur nikla. Yeh match fix tha. Maine koi takleef Nitish ko nahi diya ha. Nakli chhavi bana kar Nitish khud ko PM material batate the. Chahta to mai Nitish ko CM nahi banata, sirf 71 vidhayak the.

"I put a tika on his forehead, said go rule the state, I had no greed in my heart, else why would I nominate him as Chief Minister?

"The mandate was against the BJP, to throw Modi-Shah out of Bihar. The mandate was for Nitish and me.

"They said I was a beef eater. Past 15-20 yrs I have been fighting cases in courts. I was sentenced in a hurry. There was a conspiracy between Nitish Kumar and the BJP.


"Narendra Modi ne achhe din, naukri ka jhansa diya, dhong racha. It is regrettable there is no Gandhiji among us to unite this country. Amit Shah and  Modi's khandan of Godse-RSS killed him.  Bihar bohot jagrook pradesh hai; aaj gaon-gaon ke log naraaz hain.

Our fight will go on. We will go to the top court."
