Lalu Prasad on Sunday raised hackles of separate ally Congress and rival JD(U) with his remarks against Bihar AICC in-charge Bhakta Charan Das, a close aide of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who called the RJD supremo, strongly condemned. Anti-Dalit”
Ashok Choudhary, a powerful member of the state cabinet, while answering questions from journalists in the national capital, condemned the RJD leader’s use of Bihari slang to reprimand Bhakta Charan Das, a Dalit.
Prasad, who arrived here later, insisted that he would campaign for the bypolls to the Tarapur and Kusheshwar Asthan assembly seats, which have become a flashpoint between the two old allies. Asked if this is a veil for the Congress-RJD alliance, Prasad said, “Kya hota hai Congress ka gathbandhan (what is the benefit of alliance with Congress).
Prasad remarked with disdain, “Should we part with one seat so that the Congress loses it and forfeits its bail,” Prasad remarked with disdain, and when asked about the allegation by Das That the RJD is helping the BJP by turning its back on the Congress, he quipped. “Bhakta Charan is a Bhaktonhar (stupid person)”.
Choudhary, himself a former state Congress president who moved to the JD(U) less than four years ago, expressed strong disapproval of the language used by the former Bihar chief minister and said it was his ‘ Anti-Dalit mentality. .
RJD has always been anti-Dalit. This is reflected in the kind of language used by Lalu against Bhakta Charan Das. Recently Tejashwi Yadav did not attend the function which was addressed by no less than President Ram Nath Kovind. This was also a sign of the party’s disregard for Dalits.”
Choudhary, a prominent Dalit leader who served as a minister in the Rabri Devi government but is known to be uncomfortable with the RJD. Interestingly, earlier in the day, Nitish Kumar was congratulated by a senior Congress leader for having better secular credentials despite the tie-up with the BJP than the RJD chief.
“Nitish Kumar and his JD(U) have always maintained a different stand from the BJP despite the alliance. His stand on Gujarat riots is well known. It is Kumar who ensured that the perpetrators of the Bhagalpur riots are brought to justice,” said former BPCC chief Anil Sharma.
Holding the domineering senior partner responsible for his party’s downfall in Bihar, Sharma, who has strongly criticized the RJD’s dealings with the Congress, had also said, “I think Lalu’s good luck if he does not come here for campaigning.” There will be service”.
“If he goes to Tarapur, it will miss the goodwill award that his wife’s government had given to Kameshwar Yadav, the main accused in the Bhagalpur massacre, which belongs to Munger district, where the assembly constituency falls,” Sharma said.
Lalu will find it difficult to defend his claim of having secular credentials. After all, they first formed the government in 1990 with the support of the BJP,” the Congress leader recalled. Meanwhile, the BJP seemed to be enjoying the show.
He said, ‘Lalu Prasad is known to use such language. The Congress, which has been hooliganism on the RJD, seems to be suddenly filled with enthusiasm with the arrival of an imported leader like Kanhaiya Kumar. The party must now prepare itself for further humiliation of Lalu, which may not even spare Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.
