Nitish still has time to correct his historic blunder: Lalu Prasad

Patna, June 23 (TheNBiharPost/IBNS): RJD chief Lalu Prasad on Friday asked his ally, Chief Miinister Nitish Kumar, to change his decision to back Ram Nth Kovind's Presidential candidature soon, saying he still has time to “correct” himself.

“Nitish Kumar has committed a historic blunder by announcing his support to the NDA’s Ppresidential candidate…he still has time to correct it,” Prasad told the media.

He said it was Kumar who had initiated the unity move in the opposition but he suddenly lent his support to the NDA candidate.

“Pata nahi kaun si khichadi paki ki Nitish ne NDA ka samarthan kiya (Don’t know what cooked up between them that he supported the NDA in the Presidential polls),” the RJD chief said.

The opposition parties, led by the Congress, has propped up former Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar as their candidate against the NDA nominee.

The JD-U, however, has refused to change its decision but said it was an “isolated” case.

“Supporting the NDA is just an isolated case. We have no commitment for the BJP in future,” JD-U spokesperson KC Tyagi told a newsmen channel on Friday .
