Patna, July 05: NDA had no right to call Bharat bandh as they were also responsible for price rise of essential commodities, RJD supremo Lalu Prasad claimed today.
“NDA has no right to give the call for Bharat bandh on the issue of price rise as it was also responsible for the same,” he told reporters on the occasion of party’s 14th foundation day celebrations here.
The RJD-LJP combine has given a ‘Bihar Bandh’ call on July 10 to protest rise in the prices of petroleum products and essential commodities.
“RJD-LJP bandh call will have mass support as against the bandh organised by NDA in Bihar with the help of the state machinery,” Prasad said.
He also alleged that the Bihar government had failed to take advantage of Centre-sponsored schemes aimed at providing foodgrains to rural people.
