Reacting over on-going investigation of corruption charges against RJD supremo Lal, BJP leader Giriraj Singh lashed out at Bihar CM Nitish Kumar and said,"Law is taking its course. Now Nitish Kumar ji cannot remain a mute spectator. He will have to speak out and state his stand clear."

"Now, Nitish Kumar has to decide if he wants to stay with Lalu Prasad, who is already a convict in corruption case," Singh had asserted. 

BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi also urged Nitish Kumar to break his silence and sack Tejashwi Yadav as deputy CM. Earlier also, Modi had demanded sacking of Lalu Prasad's minister sons -- Tejashwi and Tej Pratap -- from Bihar government  after the Income Tax Department charged six family members of the RJD chief under anti-benami assets Act in connection with its probe into alleged land deals worth Rs 1,000 crore.

Meanwhile, RJD leader Manoj Jha backed Lalu saying party leaders will fight against the raids."Today is the darkest day in Indian democracy. We will not be cowed down by this. We will fight legally and politically,” Jha said.
