Taking a jibe at Nitish Kumar, RJD chief Lalu Prasad said the JD-U leader “passed examination with a third division” and went on to become the Chief Minister of Bihar.

The remark was a reference to the seats won by the Janata Dal-United (JD-U) in the 2020 Bihar Assembly election. Nitish Kumar-led JD-U managed to bag only 40 seats in the last year’s Assembly election, and finished with a third position. The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) got 75 seats while the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured 74 seats.
