RJD trying to foment social strife by alleging Lalu has been

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar alleged on Tuesday that opposition RJD was trying to foment social strife in the state with the claim that its jailed president Lalu Prasad has been "framed", though he was serving sentences in fodder scam cases as per court orders.

Addressing a rally here in presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Kumar took potshots at his arch rival for having written an "open letter" addressed to him the previous day and warned the people of the state, referring to the opposition party's poll symbol, "If by any chance they get success in elections, Bihar will be back to the lantern age."
"I was amused to read in newspapers today that he has written an open letter to me. I wonder how he could do that while in jail. Moreover, the way he has spoken about the lantern makes me warn the people of the state. Beware, if by any chance they get success in elections, Bihar will be back to the lantern age."
