Bihar: Nitish Kumar downplays Lalu's 'doors are always open' remark

A day after Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) president Lalu Prasad caused a flutter by saying “doors were always open for Nitish Kumar”, the Bihar Chief Minister on Saturday downplayed the issue, but said he “maintained good relations with allies as well as opponents”.

The JD(U) chief was replying to questions from journalists on the remark by Prasad, with whom he was seen warmly shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries inside the assembly premises on Thursday.

“I maintain good relations with allies and leaders of opposition parties. I shake hands with them, whenever I meet them. That’s all”, Kumar said.
