Union minister Uma Bharti today came down heavily on RJD supremo's statement of supporting Bihar Chief Minister as prime minister.

"If Nitish Kumar becomes prime minister then like Bihar there will be jungle raj in the entire country." she said.

Rashtriya Janata Dal(RJD)chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, who last year forged an alliance with Janata Dal (United) to take on the Narendra Modi-powered BJP, earlier advocated for Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar being projected as the next prime minister.

When asked whether RJD would support the Bihar JD-U leader as the prime ministerial candidate, Lalu said, "Yeah sure, there is no second thought on this."

Uma also criticised Nitish's government for the lawlessness in the state

Citing the case of Gaya road rage in which a 19-year-old boy was allegedly gunned down for overtaking the vehicle of a Janata Dal-United legislator's son in Bihar, she challenged Nitish and said," After alcoholics, it's time for you to take action against people drunk with power."

Uma Bharti will today launch nine projects in Sahebganj under the national Clean Ganga mission. The minister for water resources, river development and Ganga rejuvination plans to develop the 83km stretch of the Ganga in Jharkhand under the mission named Namami Gange.

Bharti will be accompanied by chief minister Raghubar Das, local MLA Anant Ojha and other BJP leaders and a team of experts to finalize modalities of cleaning Ganga in the region.
