Janata Dal-United JD(U) which is in power along with the BJP in Bihar has been left embarrassed following the behaviour of an MLA. The lawmaker has been caught getting his leg massaged by a party worker.
MLA Kaushal Yadav was seen lying down at Gandhi Maidan, the venue for 'Karyakarta Sammelan' a worker’s outreach program, which saw chief minister Nitish Kumar address a gathering.
Bihar will face an Assembly election in October and incidents like these are nothing but a blot on Nitish Kumar and the party.
