From correspondents in Bihar, India, 01:00 PM IST

Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Monday attacked Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and said the latter sacrificed 'his secular image by joining a murderer like Modi'.

'Nitish sacrificed his secular image by joining a murderer like Modi,' Lalu Prasad told television channels here.

Janata Dal-United leader Nitish Kumar shared the stage with Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi Sunday at a National Democratic Alliance (NDA) election rally in Ludhiana, Punjab.

'Nitish Kumar is being called as a secular person. Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi, who had given him the secular certificate, and others who favourably spoke of him will realise how secular he is,' Lalu Prasad held.
