Patna: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar
on Friday lambasted Lalu Prasad for the criticism of his
government and claimed that the RJD supremo is yet to recover
from the shock of his party's ouster from the state in 2005.
"Lalu ji has not yet come out of the shock of his
ouster from power. He cannot live without power just like a
fish cannot survive without water," Kumar told reporters here.
When his attention was drawn to the RJD leader's
statement that he would hold a training camp for his workers
in October, Kumar said, "he has to introspect to prepare
himself first".
Referring to the merger of the three-member LJP
legislature party in the state legislative council with the
JD(U), Kumar said, "we don't engineer any split, but welcome
those coming to join and strengthen us with open arms".
