Bihar: RJD, Cong MLAs stage protest against Nitish govt, allege corruption

The RJD and Congress MLAs on Monday staged a protest against Nitish government outside Bihar Assembly in Patna on the first day of the winter session.

The legislators shouted slogan against the government, alleging corruption and lawlessness in the state.

While holding placards, the legislators accused the JD (U)-BJP coalition government of corruption and demanded chief minister Nitish Kumar's  resignation.

On Sunday, JD (U) leader Tejashwi Yadav took potshots at Bihar Chief Minister Nitish  Kumar's name not figuring among the star campaigners of the Janata Dal (United) for the assembly polls in Gujarat, where the party is contesting more than 50 seats.

"This is strange that Nitish was a star campaigner of his party in the Delhi municipal polls. But he is staying away from the poll campaign in Gujarat despite his party contesting more than 50 assembly seats," Yadav said in a statement.
