Dhanbad, Nov 17: Senior RJD leader and former deputy chief minister of Bihar Tejashwi Yadav today said If Laluji had joined hands with the BJP, he would have been King Harishchandra of India today. “The so-called fodder scam would have become a brotherhood (Bhaichara) scam in two minutes if Laluji’s DNA had changed,” he maintained.
While criticising the NDA, he said that the BJP should disclose who is its chief minister candidate if voted to power.
Addressing an election rally in support of Congress candidates Purnima Singh and Ajay Dubey in Dhanbad and Jharia respectively, Tejashwi Yadav said that the BJP has not decided on the name of its groom but it has come out to perform ‘Arti’ with the marriage party.
“The INDI Alliance has the clear name of Dulha ( chief ministerial candidate) and you should ask this from BJP leaders about their chief minister candidate,” said Tejashwi Yadav to people while addressing a rally in Jealgora Stadium Jharia.
The RJD leader said that in this election the BJP is diverting from the main issues of people’s problems and talks about infiltration, temple-Masjid, Hindu- Muslim among others. “But the main issues of people are unemployment, price rise, poverty,” he said.
Tejashwi Yadav said that he had come to Jharia with a message from Lalu Prasad who has appealed to people to make Purnima Neeraj Singh victorious in the elections.
Yadav said that this election is a war of two thoughts. “One side is destroying the Constitution, dividing people on religion, creating rumours among people, and spreading hatred business while the other hand side is contesting for protecting the Constitution and developing brotherhood among people,” he pointed out.
Tejashwi Yadav said that since the Narendra Modi government has come to the centre price rise soared sky high. “When Modi came LPG cylinder was given at Rs 400 and the price of petrol was Rs 60 per litre. But now the cylinder is at Rs 1200 while petrol is at Rs 100 per litre,” he pointed out.
“At that time Modiji used to sing a song of Manhgai Dayan Khail Jat hai, Lekin Ab unhe Kebal Mehooba Nazar Aati hai,” Tejashwi said.
Assam MP Tarun Gogoi, Banna Gupta and JMM leader Lakhi Soren were also present at the Tejashwi rally.
