"Lalu Prasad Yadav is day dreaming...": Nityanand Rai responds to RJD chief's statement - World News Network

Patna (Bihar) [India], July 5 (ANI): Reacting to Rashtriya Janata Dal Chief Lalu Yadav’s statement that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government can fall by August, Union Minister Nityanand Rai on Friday said that the RJD chief is “day dreaming” adding that the people of Bihar don’t want “jungle Raj” in the state.
Lalu Prasad Yadav claimed that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government at the Centre, which came to power last month, could fall by August and elections could happen anytime.
“Lalu Prasad Yadav is day dreaming. By making PM Modi the Prime Minister for the third time, the people of the country and Bihar have expressed their wish that PM Modi is the true son of India and can take the country forward. The people of Bihar believe in PM Modi, Nitish Kumar, NDA-BJP, they do not want jungle raj,” Nityanand Rai told reporters on Friday.
RJD chief asserted that the NDA government is “weak”, adding that the elections could happen anytime.
“I appeal to all party workers to be ready, as elections can happen anytime. Modi’s government in Delhi is very weak and it can fall by August and an INDIA bloc government will be formed in the country,” Lalu Yadav said speaking at the RJD’s foundation day event.
Lalu Yadav made the remarks while addressing party workers on the Rashtriya Janata Dal’s foundation day on Friday.
He further expressed satisfaction with the party’s performance in the Lok Sabha elections 2024.
Earlier, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav asserted that the Bharatiya Janata Party is against reservation, adding that it was the Mahagathbandhan government that raised the reservation quota to 75 per cent.
“If anyone raised the reservation quota to 75 per cent, it was the Mahagathbandhan government. The BJP is against reservations. After the NDA-BJP government came to power in Bihar, it stopped the reservation hike in the state. This is the reason we have been saying that the BJP is not just against Bihar but also against reservation,” the RJD leader said.
He further said that Rashtriya Janata Dal is the only party that has neither compromised nor kneeled before BJP.
“Those from Janata Dal (U) compromised with their ideology due to their greed for power and allied with the BJP. Rashtriya Janata Dal is the only party that has neither compromised nor kneeled before the BJP. Being in power is not the biggest thing. Our fight is for those who are weak and deprived,” he said.
RJD is celebrating 28 years of its foundation today. The RJD came into existence on July 5, 1997.
The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance has won its third successive term in Lok Sabha polls. The NDA won 293 seats in the Lok Sabha polls with the BJP getting 240 seats. (ANI)
