Soon after entering his new house “10 Circular Road”, sacked industry minister Shyam Rajak vent his fury against chief minister Nitish Kumar.
“He (Nitish Kumar) has become arrogant and ignoring his cabinet colleagues,” Rajak said after joining the RJD. At a simple function held at 10, Circular Road—the official bungalow of former chief minister Rabri Devi, leader of opposition Tejashwi Prasad Yadav handed over the membership paper to him.
Rajak alleged that the officers were dominating the ministers while chief minister was watching it as mute spectator. “I had sent a note to the chief minister against principal secretary of industries department, but no action was taken,” he said, adding that Kumar did not spare time for a meet.
The former minister said joining RJD was his home coming after 11 years. He had quit RJD in 2009 and joined JDU before assembly elections.
When reporters asked a question to Rajak that in 2009 while leaving RJD he had alleged Lalu-Rabri were ill treating him as he was from the washerman community, Tejashwi intervened and said Nitish ji surrendered before the leader who had challenged his DNA in 2014 elections.
Meanwhile, three RJD MLAs Ashok Kumar Kushwaha, Ms Prema Chaudhury and Maheshwar Yadav today joined the JDU in presence of three ministers–Bijendra Yadav, Shrawan Kumar and Neeraj Kumar. They claimed they have joined the politics of development under the leadership of Nitish Kumar.
Faraz Fatmi, RJD MLA who was expelled from the party on Sunday evening had also announced to join JDU after his return from New Delhi.
