JD-U says yet to decide over joining Lalu Prasad’s anti-BJP campaign

Patna, May14 (TheBiharPost/IBNS): The ruling Janata Dal United (JD-U) which is headed by chief minister Nitish Kumar is still to decide on attending RJD chief Lalu Prasad’s proposed “BJP hatao, desh bachao” (remove BJP from power and save the country) rally to be held in August this year.

“We are yet to decide over the issue. There is still enough time for it,” state JD-U president Vashishtha Narayan Singh was quoted as saying in the local media on Sunday.

RJD has planned to invite country’s top opposition leaders at the said rally to be held in Patna’s Gandhi Maidan. 

While the RJD wants to take credit for bringing the opposition parties on one platform, the JD-U has been making similar efforts in this direction not to be left behind.

Of late, both the parties have been seen taking different stands on varieties of issues, such as India’s surgical strike in PoK, currency ban and use of EVMs in the elections.

However, the BJP mocked the rally plan of the RJD chief saying none is sure if he will be able to hold the rally given the Supreme Court’s order to conclude trials in all the fodder scam cases pending against him.

“Who knows if Lalu Prasad will be out there for the rally or will be in jail by that time,” senior BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi told the media today.
