The RJD on Saturday demanded resignation of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar in view of the CBI's revelation in the Supreme Court that 11 minor girls were allegedly murdered in the Muzaffarpur shelter home where a sex scandal has broken out in 2018.
If Kumar does not quit on his own, the RJD said, Governor Lalji Tandon should dismiss his government for its inability to protect the lives of 11 inmates of the state aided shelter home.
The party of Lalu Prasad stepped up its offensive against the Bihar government a day after the CBI, in an affidavit, told the apex court that 11 girls were murdered by Brajesh Thakur, the key accused in the Muzaffarpur home sex scandal case, and his accomplices, and "bundle of bones" were recovered from a burial ground inside it.
"We request the governor to sack the Nitish Kumar government immediately following its involvement in the Muzaffarpur shelter home case," RJD Leader Tejashwi Yadav tweeted.
In another tweet, he said, "If there is any shame left in Nitish Kumar, he should tender an apology after evidences have been found in Muzaffarpur shelter home case Why Nitish Kumar used to go to Brajesh Thakur's home at Muzaffarpur?"
