Bihar Feb 25 : RJD President Lalu Prasad today sought to play down the political controversy triggered by his wife Rabri Devi's assertion that people of Bihar wanted to see their son Tejaswi Yadav as the chief minister."Tejaswi is still learning the art of governance," the RJD leader said about his younger son, who is the deputy chief minister of the state, in apparent reference to comments by Rabri Devi, a former chief minister.
Apart from RJD and JD(U), Congress is another constituent in the coalition government.Soon after Rabri Devi made the remark, JD(U) dismissed it, saying there was no vacancy for the CM's post."Nitish Kumar is efficiently running the Grand Alliance government...Where is the vacancy for the post of the CM?" JD(U) chief spokesman Sanjay Singh said.
