Bihar MLA Haribhushan Thakur Bachol said Muslims must stay at home on Holi to avoid a confrontation. Leader of the Opposition Tejashwi Yadav asked if the state belongs to the MLA’s father and dared Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to rebuke the MLA and make him apologise. Mr Kumar thundered at the RJD leader and said he made Lalu Yadav the Chief Minister. RJD and JDU have had an inconsistent relationship over the past decade, thanks to Mr Kumar’s repeated flip-flops across the political aisle. The row comes against the backdrop of heated exchanges between the two leaders months ahead of Assembly polls in Bihar, which are due to be held later this year. The two parties have been locked in a bitter political battle for the last decade, with Mr Kumar accusing Mr Yadav of trying to \”engineer riots\” in the state. The JDU-RJD alliance was formed in the 1990s, when Mr Kumar was a key face of Janata Dal politics before the two parted ways.
