Cong conspiring against RJD-LJP: Lalu

Patna, July 10: RJD president Lalu Yadav today alleged that Congress is conspiring to harm the prospect of RJD-LJP alliance in the coming Bihar Assembly elections by planting reports about possible inclusion of LJP chief Ramvilas Paswan in the Manmohan Singh ministry.

“The reports about possible inclusion of Paswan in Manmohan Singh ministry have been plotted by the Congress…

It is a conspiracy hatched by it to harm the prospect of our alliance in the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections,” Lalu told a press conference.

Criticising Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, he said complete anarchy and chaos have gripped Bihar and corruption is rampant in the state.

The Centre had sanctioned Rs 523 crore for execution of schemes under Multi Sectoral Development Programme, however, the state government utilised hardly Rs 13 crore for welfare of Muslims, he alleged.
