Patna, Dec 5 (PTI) Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremoLalu Prasad today lashed out at Bihar Chief Minister andJanata Dal (United) president Nitish Kumar over thedisqualification of JD(U) Rajya Sabha MPs Sharad Yadav and AliAnwar.
"It has become a trait of Nitish Kumar to use people anddump them. He did that to me when he approached me for analliance after biting the dust in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls andlater, ditched us to join hands with the BJP," he toldreporters here.
Kumar, Prasad said, had meted out a similar treatment toYadav and Ali, who stood by the JD(U) chief's side when he wasstruggling to get a foothold in Bihar's politics.
"He (Kumar) has humiliated them by getting themdisqualified from the Rajya Sabha," the RJD supremo said.
"But the people of Bihar are watching. A time will comewhen they will ask what was the crime of these two persons(Yadav and Anwar), for which they were given such a treatment,and Nitish Kumar will have a tough time coming up with ananswer," he added.
The JD(U) had sought the disqualification of the two MPson the ground that they had attended a rally organised by theopposition parties, including the RJD, despite instructions tothe contrary.
Bihar JD(U) president Bashishtha Narayan Singh said,"Sharad Yadav had openly been defying the party's directions,which amounted to voluntarily renouncing the party. He hasnobody else but himself to blame for what he is facing."Yadav and Anwar had sided with the opposition in Biharafter Kumar quit the Grand Alliance, also comprising theCongress and the RJD, and re-joined the BJP-led NDA to formgovernment in the state.
A communication regarding the two Rajya Sabha MPs'disqualification from the House was issued by Vice-President MVenkaiah Naidu, who is also the chairman of the Upper House ofParliament, late last night. PTI NAC KKRC.
