Patna: BJP leader and Bihar law minister Nitin Nabin targeted Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, stating that he has made many resolutions, which have, in fact, become a strength for the BJP. Nabin added that Lalu had opposed the construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, but he was proven wrong, as the temple has now been built.
Speaking to ANI, the Bihar minister said, “Lalu Yadav said that Ram Temple will not be built till he is there. What happened to that statement? Now, Shri Ram temple has been built in Ayodhya. Lalu Yadav can keep taking such resolutions. Whenever he takes such resolutions, the BJP grows. Your resolution gives us more strength.”
Nabin further stated that the people of Bihar had witnessed the “jungle raj” under Lalu Yadav’s leadership and are now supporting development under Nitish Kumar’s NDA government
He added, “The people of Bihar have seen ‘jungle raj’ during his government. Now, the people of Bihar are with the development and Nitish Kumar’s NDA government.”
Lalu Prasad Yadav was asked about the impact of BJP’s historic win in the Delhi Legislative Assembly elections on the Bihar state elections, which are set to take place later this year. Responding to ANI, Lalu stated that the people of Bihar have recognised the BJP, and until he is there, the BJP cannot form the government again.
Lalu said, “There will be no impact. How can they form the government? Can the BJP form the government while we are here? The people have now recognised the BJP.”
Yadav’s remarks arrived days after the Janata Dal (United) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha on Monday asserted that Bihar is benefitting from the work of the double-engine government and that the NDA will win in the state in the upcoming polls in a better way than Delhi.
Notably, state assembly election are scheduled to be held in Bihar in the later part of the year where the Congress-RJD led INDIA block will be up against CM Kumar led NDA alliance. The NDA has already paced up its preparation with alliance leaders organsing joint meetings across the state.
