Tejashwi Yadav
PATNA: RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Thursday launched a frontal attack on the Nitish Kumar government in Bihar, alleging the involvement of a BJP minister in illicit liquor trade and claiming that the chief minister appeared weak and helpless and, therefore, unable to act and stem the rot.
The leader of the opposition, who had on the previous day raised inside the assembly the issue of seizure of illicit liquor from a school building situated on a property that belonged to minister for land reforms and revenue Ram Surat Rai, went for the jugular and charged that he suspected direct involvement of the cabinet member.
