Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Prasad on Saturday attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), saying the ruling party at the Centre was trying to divide the country on caste and religious lines.
In his first major speech after recovering from a kidney transplant operation, Prasad said that the BJP is trying to marginalise minorities and we have to save their rights.
“No one can break us (Mahagathbandhan) till we are one. We have to save the country. We have to save minorities’ rights. This time BJP government will lose. The Mahagathbandhan will win in Bihar. 2024 will show the strong win of our party. We keep saying Hindu, Hindu, Hindu…We are Hindus…but what is the crime of minorities that you are trying to marginalise them. I won’t let them succeed in any case,” he said.
Addressing the rally of the `Mahagathbandhan’ in Bihar’s Purnea from his Delhi residence virtually, the former Bihar CM said the grand alliance will wipe out BJP in 2024 Lok Sabha and 2025 state assembly polls.
