The continuing war of words between Bihar’s two political titans hit a new low further on Wednesday when RJD chief Lalu Prasad described his arch-rival, chief minister Nitish Kumar as “mandate rapist”. Mr Prasad launched the bitterest-ever attack on his rival soon after the chief minister caricatured him as a man being too much concerned about making money and mocked his “patriotism” in a series of tweets.

Arch-rivals who became friends ahead of the last 2015 assembly elections have no turned sworn enemies in the aftermath of Mr Kumar swapping his ally midday. Mr Kumar who had won the last elections with the support of the RJD and the Congress and was heading the three-party Grand Alliance government in the state suddenly dismantled the alliance in July this year to form his new government with the support of the BJP, his arch-rival.

The move saw both the RJD and the Congress out of power although they had played a greater role in the victory of Mr Kumar who heads the NDA government now. The prevailing bitterness is now spilling over in various sways.

“Do you have any knowledge of a psychiatrist who treats a ‘mandate rapist’ brutalizing the people’s mandate in broad daylight?” the RJD president asked in a tweet. In another tweet, the RJD president sought information about a dentist who could treat the ‘poison teeth’ present in the stomach of a “mandate murder”.
