JD-U asks Lalu to declare property, source of income as alliance reaches critical stage

Patna, Jul 14 (TheBiharPost/IBNS): The JD-U led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has asked its ally, RJD president Lalu Prasad to declare his property and their sources of income, giving a new twist to the crisis the ruling coalition is in.

“You have to declare what are your total property and their source of income,” a JD-U spokesperson said about the RJD chief  while talking to the media on Thursday.

“Sampati kahan se aaya? Source of income kahan hai, bataye (tell how did you acquire those properties? What’s the source of income)?” he asked.

“What’s your problem in giving your property details to the opposition?” asked the leader.

RJD spokesperson Manoj Jha said Lalu Prasad had already declared his property and asked the JD-U not to fall int the "trap laid by the opposition."

The political situation in Bihar has taken a new turn after the CBI registered a case against Lalu Prasad’s younger son and deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav in a corruption case.

Despite opposition demand, the RJD as well as Lalu Prasad have ruled out the possibility of Tejashwi's resignation.

However, the development that threatens the image of the Government has put Nitish Kumar under pressure prompting his party to create a distance with the RJD.
