The party was reacting to calls for RJD leader and Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav to resign after the CBI named him in an FIR on charges of corruption and cheating. Former JD(U) minister Ramai Ram claimed that the party had given four days’ time for the RJD to take action on Tejashwi. “Nitish Kumar has been very clear on this and expects the RJD to decide on Tejashwi. After all, Tejashwi’s departments can stay with any other RJD minister, such as Tej Pratap Yadav or Abdul Bari Siddiqui, or anyone Lalu Prasad (RJD chief) wants,” said sources. His performance as a minister has been extraordinary and we look up to him as our leader,” said RJD Minister Shivchandra Ram.
