The Janata Dal (United) on Thursday slammed Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav for accusing their chief of being involved in an alleged murder case and said that they will drag Lalu to the court for making such an accusation.


JD(U) leader Sanjay Singh asserted that no one can point fingers at Nitish Kumar."No one can put a blot on Nitishji. We will keep our point of view and take the matter to the court," Singh told ANI.


After Nitish Kumar resigned as Bihar Chief Minister on Wednesday, Lalu said that Kumar stepped down fearing his exposure in a murder case slapped against him.


He also questioned Nitish's intent behind the decision."I talked with Nitishji last night and asked him to clear all the misunderstandings. We talked for 40 minutes and he did not mention about his resignation even once. He also advised me to clarify the corruption charges (against Tejashwi Yadav) through media. Nitish Kumar knew that he is accused in a murder and an Arms Act case under Sections 302 and 307 of the IPC, which also declared this in elections affidavit. Nitish knew that if he would ask Tejashwi to resign then his crime will be exposed," Lalu told media.


"This is zero tolerance of my younger brother (Nitish Kumar). This is why he stepped down. When a reporter asked Nitish if he would take the BJP's support to form a government, then he did not deny. I am sad that he resigned. I asked him to not resign," he added.


Lalu further accused Nitish of being been and-in-glove with the BJP and the RSS. "Nitish is hand-in-glove with the BJP, and the RSS. What a setting! Minutes after he resigned, Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted to congratulate him," he said.
