RJD Chief Lalu Prasad Yadav was attacked on Thursday by Uttar Pradesh Power Minister Srikant Sharma over the Yadav’s proposed rally of opposition parties in Patna, terming it as a “congregation of the corrupt.”
“Laluji is not organising a rally but a ‘jamawada’ (congregation) of the corrupt,” said Sharma.
Yadav is mobilising people in Bihar for the August 27 rally, which he has claimed would be a major occasion to bring together the secular forces on one platform against the BJP ahead of the 2019 polls. Lalu is attempting a major show of strength after he was ousted from the Bihar government with the JD-U moving out of the grand alliance and joining back the NDA fold and the government with the BJP.
“There will be no impact of the rally on Uttar Pradesh politics … SP, BSP, Congress and all the parties which are taking part in the rally have never paid attention to the development. These parties have remained confined to their personal and families’ development,” Sharma said.
About the common civil code, he said “BJP has been in its (common civil code) favour since long and will not compromise on it ,”
