NEW DELHI: : The Bharatiya Janata Party on Tuesday demanded that the Centre and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) keep a tab on attempts at "horse-trading" of MLAs being allegedly made in Bihar to cobble together a majority to form a government. Addressing the press here, the BJP Parliamentary Party spokesman, V.K. Malhotra, said that about 110 legislators were with the Janata Dal (United) leader, Nitish Kumar. He expressed apprehension that the RJD chief, Lalu Prasad, could trigger a "horse-trading'' of MLAs. "There is an urgent need not only for the Centre to remain vigilant but also for agencies such as the CBI to keep a watch on the situation in Bihar. The RJD, the Congress and the LJP might prevent Mr. Nitish Kumar [from] forming a government." Referring to the raid on the house of the RJD MP, Mohammad Shahabuddin, at Pratapur in Siwan district and the seizure of arms and ammunition, Mr. Malhotra said Mr. Shahabuddin was "Mr. Prasad's trusted lieutenant."
