PATNA: RJD chief Lalu Prasad left the anti-demonetisation camp on Tuesday, telling legislators that he only opposed the way the decision was implemented and not the rationale behind it.In his support for the move, Lalu has echoed Bihar CM and alliance partner JD(U)’s chief Nitish Kumar , who has been a votary of the Centre’s decision since the beginning. JD(U) and RJD are partners in Bihar’s grand alliance government along with Congress.Nitish had visited Lalu at his residence on Tuesday following a war of words between the ruling and Opposition camps in the state legislature earlier in the day. Lalu told his party’s legislators at a meeting, and in Nitish’s presence, that he supported the note ban but was against its “poor implementation by the Centre”. The meeting between the two leaders lasted almost an hour.Talking to TOI after the meeting, RJD MLA Anwar Alam said both Lalu and Nitish spoke in favour of the demonetisation exercise. “Laluji supported demonetisation but was against its poor implementation and the hardship faced by the common man,” he said. Alam clarified that Lalu had called up the CM and asked if he would attend the meeting and talk to RJD legislators on various issues.“Nitishji accepted his request and attended the meeting,” Alam said, adding that the CM patiently heard out the party MLAs and assured them that there was no rift in the Mahagathbandhan. “The CM also informed the legislators that he would soon call a meeting of all ministers on the different issues raised during the meeting,” Alam added. He did not reveal what other issues were discussed.
