Nitish lands, Lalu leaves
Patna: The same Sahara Airlines aircraft ferried Bihar Chief Minister-designate Nitish Kumar and Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad in different directions on Wednesday.
Mr. Prasad whizzed past waiting mediapersons into the airport here even as the flower petals, showered on Mr. Kumar some 30 minutes ago, were being swept away from the VIP gate. While Mr. Kumar and other NDA leaders arrived to stake their claim to form the new government, Mr. Prasad left for Delhi.
Veterans from Jayaprakash Narain's 'Sampoorn Kranti' movement days, Mr Prasad, Mr Kumar and Mr Sushil Modi (who will take oath as Deputy CM on Thursday) represent divergent poles of Bihar politics now. â UNI
