Sir — This refers to the editorial, “Sharad Yadav’s anger” (August 2). The editorial has rightly said that by breaking-off the mahagathbandhan in Bihar, Janata Dal(United), JD(U) chief Nitish Kumar has not committed any faux pas as claimed by JD(U) leader Sharad Yadav that Nitish Kumar betrayed the Bihar public as the latter had given its mandate against the NDA, whose laps he has chosen to sit now. Before pointing fingers on Nitish Kumar’s volte-face, Sharad Yadav should have fathomed the reasons which led to Nitish Kumar’s parting ways from the mahagathbandhan. Had Nitish Kumar not broken relations with the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), he would have emerged as a villain and a protagonist of corruption.
RJD chief, lalu Prasad himself is out on bail and ineligible to contest in any elections for 11 years. His entire family is on the radar of various Central intelligence agencies. The nitty gritty of the matter is that Sharad Yadav should forget this acrimony with Nitish Kumar and maintain cordial relations with him as ever before.
