Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, whose hug with the tainted Lalu Prasad in Patna last week led to criticism from his party and from others, said on Monday that the Rashtriya Janata Dal chief pulled him in for a hug and that he hadn't intended it to happen.
"At Nitish Kumar's swearing-in, Lalu Yadav shook my hand, pulled and hugged me. I did not take any initiative," the Aam Aadmi Party leader said at his party's National Council meeting in New Delhi. "We are against his record of corruption and we will always oppose it," he added.
Ruling out any alliance with Lalu's RJD, Kejriwal said he is opposed to the "dynasty politics" that was witnessed in Patna with two of Lalu's sons sworn in as ministers in Nitish's Cabinet. The younger one, Tejaswi Prasad, is now Bihar's deputy chief minister.
"We are against his record of corruption and we'll always oppose it," Kejriwal told his partymen. Lalu is currently barred from contesting elections after he was convicted and jailed last year in a fodder scam case.
