Patna, July 15: RJD president Lalu Prasad today alleged that the Congress and BJP were hand in glove and trying to swallow small and regional parties.
“Both Congress and BJP are hand in glove which is evident from their stand on the Women’s Reservation Bill… their sinister design is to swallow small and regional parties gradually,” Prasad told reporters here.
In the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, he said voting for Congress would mean voting for the BJP.
“To vote for the Congress will mean vote for the BJP and thereby, helping and strengthening the hands of VHP leader (Praveen)Togadia and Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi…,” the RJD chief said during induction of senior JD-U leader Reyazul Haue Raju into the party.
Prasad further alleged that contribution of Congress towards the uplift of minorities in India was “negligible” during past 63 years.
