Form of words:
Patna: Signaling a thaw between his party and the Congress, RJD president Lalu Prasad said on Wednesday that he had a telephonic conversation with Sonia Gandhi, whom he had asked to organize a meeting of like-minded parties that would align with the BJP. You can join hands to fight.
Prasad was speaking to reporters before leaving for election rallies in Tarapur and Kusheshwar Asthan assembly seats, where bypolls are to be held on October 30.
“Sonia Gandhi inquired about my well being. I told him that I am fine.’
“I also said that she is the leader of a party with a pan-India presence and she should convene a meeting of all like-minded parties which oppose the BJP,” Prasad said. Decision to contest by-elections on both the seats
The Congress reacted with uncharacteristic aggression, with Bihar AICC in-charge Bhakta Charan Das insisting that his party, which has fielded its candidates for two seats in the bypolls, will contest all 40 Lok Sabha seats in the next elections. General election.
Later, Prasad addressed a rally in Tarapur, where huge crowds gathered to catch a glimpse of the colorful leader addressing an election rally after a gap of six years.
Prasad claimed that the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan, in the assembly elections last year, fell short of majority due to redundant (rigging) and he was not in jail after serving a sentence in the fodder scam, they (official officers) dared to do so. Would not have done.
He also hit out at Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, his arch rival, who had said the previous day that the RJD supremo can kill me, a sarcastic reference to the former chief minister’s strong-arm tactics.
“Why do I need to kill him. I have said that I have come to complete his visarjan (political destruction) His prohibition law is a sham,” said Prasad, who ruled the state for 15 consecutive years with wife Rabri Devi.
Expressing displeasure over the high rate of inflation, the former Railway Minister also accused the Narendra Modi government at the Center and pointed out today that you will have to spend Rs 50 to buy a platform ticket. It was unimaginable in my time.
RJD president Kusheshwar is about to sign off his election campaign with a rally in Asthan, a reserved seat that has become a bone of contention between his party and the Congress, which is unsuccessfully contesting from there.
The RJD hopes to break this stigma with its imaginative game of the caste card. It has fielded a candidate belonging to the Musahar community, which has a large presence in Kusheshwar Asthan but is politically under-represented.
The party, by fielding a Musahar candidate, hopes to reduce the age-old enmity in the region between Dalits and Yadavs, which may come in handy amidst the rapidly changing political landscape of the state.
