Lalu asks Nitish to quit over murder case

RJD chief and former Bihar chief Minister Lalu Yadav has asked Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to resign for his alleged involvement in a murder.

A court in Bihar has summoned the CM next week in connection with a petition that accuses he was involved in the murder of a voter during by-elections in 1991.

The petition says that Nitish Kumar was present when his party (then the Janata Dal) opened fire at a polling booth. One voter was killed in the firing. The chief minister was contesting this election.

Opposition leader Lalu Yadav says Nitish Kumar should resign over the matter.
