Patna: Bihar CM and JD(U) chief Nitish Kumar raised the issue of actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death in his virtual poll rally on Monday. “I have full faith that the CBI investigation would ensure justice for his family and the people of Bihar,” he said.

Nitish said the death of the actor not only affected his family, the people of Bihar, but also crores of people across the country.

The JD(U) chief said the Supreme Court also vetted the CBI probe. “I have complete faith that the CBI investigation will ensure justice in the case,” he said.

Kumar also launched an attack on RJD chief Lalu Prasad and his family. He recounted his government’s achievements in all spheres over the past 15 years and contrasted it with the 15 years of the “patipatni sarkar” referring to the RJD rule of Lalu Prasad and later his wife Rabri Devi’s tenures between 1990 and 2005.

With this, Nitish set the JD (U) agenda for the coming election. He countered Chirag Paswan-led LJP, and opposition’s charges on employment, handling of coronavirus pandemic and floods too.
