Patna: Former Bihar CM and leader of opposition in the state legislative council, Rabri Devi, on the opening day of the monsoon session on Monday, said that CM Nitish Kumar should now pass on the baton to his son for the post of state’s CM, as he was young.Talking to reporters on the legislative council campus, she said the law and order related problems are everywhere in the country, but Bihar’s situation is particularly grim.“Nitish is the state’s CM and he also has the home department under him. It is clear that he is unable to control the situation. He should pass on the mantle of the post of CM to his son,” she said.When asked by reporters whether she demanded resignation of the CM over law and order issue, she said, “No, I am not seeking his resignation. Instead, he should make his son the state’s CM, since he is young.”Reacting to Rabri’s remark, JD(U) chief spokesman and MLC Neeraj Kumar advised her to worry more about her elder son and MLA Tej Pratap Yadav, who has been expelled from the family and the party by its national chief Lalu Prasad for transgressing the family morality by being in relationship with a woman even when the divorce between him and his wife was pending in the court.Senior BJP functionary and deputy CM Vijay Kumar Siha said: “Her (Rabri’s) party (RJD) would go high in public esteem, if she considered removing her husband (Lalu) from the post of the party’s president, as he had been convicted by a court.”
