"Prasad used to settle issues like kidnapping and extortion at his level during Rabri Devi's rule, an intervention he wants to make during the Nitish Kumar government too," Modi alleged.
Modi said Prasad was sending a "terse" message to Kumar that there was a scope of more ministers from his party to join the Cabinet.
