New Delhi: The BJP on Wednesday alleged that the Hemant Soren government in Jharkhand was aiding Rashtriya Janata Dal's jailed president Lalu Prasad in his alleged attempts to poach MLAs of the ruling NDA in Bihar and topple the newly formed Nitish Kumar government.
BJP national spokesperson Gopal Krishna Agarwal said that the Jharkhand government was providing all possible facilities to Lalu Yadav, who is staying in the RIM's Director's bungalow in Ranchi.
Agarwal further said that the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, Congress, and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav must answer why Lalu Yadav was trying to topple the elected government in Bihar.
The row erupted after Sushil Kumar Modi, the Chief Minister's former deputy and trusted lieutenant in the BJP, who had made a sensational claim on the previous night that Prasad was having access to a mobile phone through which he was calling up NDA legislators, followed it up with an audio clip of a purported conversation between the RJD supremo, who is in Ranchi, and a saffron party MLA.
