Patna:Rashtriya Janata Party (RJD) President Lalu Prasad on Monday accused Bihar Chief Minister and JD-U chief Nitish Kumar of looking for shortcuts, making compromises and betraying the people of the state.
He also attacked the Janata Dal-United (JD-U), saying its election symbol 'arrow' represented violence whereas the RJD's symbol 'lantern' removes darkness.
Lalu Prasad's letter to the Chief Minister was uploaded on social media.
It read: "My younger brother Nitish, it seems you have started hating light... Are you aware that lantern is synonymous with light? It is a symbol of love and brotherhood... But your 'arrow' is a symbol of violence."
Lalu Prasad slammed Kumar and his party, saying that they were unaware of the ideological and theoretical principles required to fight hatred. He said: "It is your old habit to look for shortcuts and make compromises."
In a reply to the RJD leader's letter, the JD-U wrote a letter to him saying "arrow is a tool used remove corruption".
