Now, Lalu-Rabri themselves plunge into the 'ghostly' exchange

The "ghosts" of Bihar Chief Ministers official residence on Friday appeared to torment Lalu Prasad and Rabri Devi who had together occupied the office for 15 years as the couple targeted incumbent Nitish Kumar for sharing a private anecdote recently, making the duo a fresh butt of jokes in the political circles.

A day after Kumars anecdote about a banter he shared with his arch rival many years ago evoked grumpy allegations and counter-allegations, the jailed leader and his wife came out with tweets the latter calling her successor a "bhoot" (ghost) displaying her trademark bluntness.

"After the champions of the poor had left the CM house in 2005, it came to be occupied by a ghost", tweeted Rabri Devi
