Patna,(BiharTimes): Taking a cue from a headline of the BiharTimes former deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi on Friday asked his former boss Nitish Kumar to re-christen his party as Rashtriya Janata Dal (United) as both the Janata Dal (United) and Rashtriya Janata Dal are coming closer.

Talking to the media he hit out at Nitish stating that it is not the BJP, as alleged by the former chief minister, but people of Bihar who are scared of coming closer of Janata Dal (United) and Rashtriya Janata Dal as it reminds hem of the 15-years of Jungle Raj. 

Sushil Modi said Nitish Kumar had made compromises with Lalu Prasad against whom he fought for nearly two decades.

It needs to be recalled that Nitish had recently favoured a grand alliance among the JD(U), RJD, Congress and the Left against the BJP in next year';s Assembly elections.
