"In politics, no one's door remains closed": JDU MLA Gopal Mandal on Lalu Yadav remark

Bhagalpur (Bihar) [India], February 17 (ANI): Responding to the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Yadav's remark that "doors for Nitish Kumar remains open", Janata Dal-United (JDU) MLA Gopal Mandal on Saturday said that Bihar chief minister will not turn back now.
"The door always remains open, in politics no one's door remains closed. When one wants to enter will enter, but Nitish Kumar will not turn back now, let it continue till 2024, the future will be seen," he said.
When asked about giving a chance to Nitish Kumar again, Lalu Prasad Yadav on Friday said, "Ab aayenge toh dekhenge, khula hi rehta hai darwaaza' (if he will we will see, door remains open)."
A day earlier, the duo was seen exchanging pleasantries in a brief encounter at the state assembly. Despite their brief interaction, the footage of their meeting became widely discussed on social media. This was the first meeting between the two leaders since their recent separation.
During this, Lalu was accompanied by his son, former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav.
Meanwhile, the Nitish Kumar-led government in Bihar on Friday ordered a probe to review the functioning of the departments under Tejashwi Yadav and his close ministers in the previous JDU-RJD government.
The work of the Health Department, Road Construction Department, Urban Development and Housing Department and the decisions taken by him will be reviewed.
Earlier, after winning the floor test, CM Kumar took a swipe at his former Mahagathbandhan ally Rashtriya Janata Dal and alleged that the RJD indulged in "corrupt practices" during the party's rule in the state adding that the Bihar government will initiate a probe into it. (ANI)
