He was referring to the assembly by-elections in Bihar’s Kusheshwar Asthan and Tarapur on October 30.

The Congress was allotted 70 seats as part of the seat-sharing among the allies of the Grand Alliance, but could win only 19 seats.

Congress state spokesperson Asit Nath Tiwari said that Lalu’s statement is not against Das but against the Dalit community. “Lalu should apologize to the members of the Dalit community,” he said.
BJP spokesperson Nikhil Anand said Lalu spoke his mind and showed his frustration that they had to suffer together for years because of Congress.
