As the state of Bihar is burning in the fire of several communal clashes, the jailed Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad Yadav on Thursday lashed out at Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for poor handling of the law and order.

Slamming his former ally in “Grand Alliance” JDU chief Nitish Kumar, he reportedly said that Nitish Kumar is now “finished”. He also accused BJP current ally of JDU of inciting violence and communal clashes in the state.

Lalu Prasad Yadav who is facing a jail term in various cases under Fodder Scam arrived in Delhi for treatment in AIIMS. Lalu Prasad Yadav’s family had requested that arrangements of air travel should be made for him. However, the arrangements were made for rail travel by Rajdhani express.

Talking to a News Agency outside AIIMS, Lalu Prasad Yadav said, “Nitish Kumar is now finished. There are riots and incidents of violence all over Bihar.” He also added, “BJP has set the whole state ablaze.”

Since Ram Navami celebrations last Sunday, clashes had erupted in various districts of Bihar including Bhagalpur and Aurangabad. As many as 150 people have been arrested in the case and three FIRs have been filed. According to latest updates, a fresh streak of violence erupted in Bihar’s Nalanda district on Wednesday injuring more than 20 people.

The police who were trying to disperse the crowd also used a mild force besides firing tear gas shells, said Superintendent of Police, Nalanda, Sudhir Kumar Porika to a news agency.
