RJD chief Lalu Prasad was not given a seat on the dais along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar during Thursday's function to wrap up Prakash Parv celebrations in Patna. While this has drawn flak from Grand Alliance partners RJD and Congress, the incident shows how Nitish Kumar wants to fix his arch rival in state politics.
Union ministers Ram Vilas Paswan and Ravi Shankar Prasad, Modi, Nitish, Punjab CM Parkash Singh Badal, Bihar Governor Ram Nath Kovind and two Sikh representatives were seated on stage. No RJD or Congress leader was on the dais. Lalu was made to sit on the floor.
