Madhubani: Describing Nitish Kumar as "parrot of RSS", RJD President Lalu Prasad on Monday said Bihar Chief Minister was opposing Narendra Modi while praising LK Advani, though both are "communalists of the highest order".
He told reporters that Kumar was befooling the minority Muslim community on the Modi issue. "Godhra riots took place in 2002 when Nitish was railway minister and he applied all the tricks in his bag to derail the probe into the burning of Sabarmati Express," he said.
