Nitish Kumar Responds To Lalu Yadav's "Doors Open" Remark | Read

A day after Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) president Lalu Prasad caused a flutter by saying "doors were always open for Nitish Kumar", Bihar Chief Minister on Saturday downplayed the issue and said he "maintained good relations with allies as well as opponents". The JD(U) chief was replying to questions from journalists on the remark by Mr Prasad, with whom he was seen warmly shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries inside the assembly premises on Thursday. "I maintain good relations with allies and leaders of opposition parties. I shake hands with them whenever I meet them. That's all", Mr Kumar said. The CM said, "I don't think of who says what... Things were not going well, so I left them (RJD)".
