Patna, October 16: RJD chief Lalu Prasad today dismissed the possibility of his ally Ram Vilas Paswan joining the Congress after the Bihar Assembly elections, saying it was a baseless rumour being spread by opponents.
“The speculation that Paswanji will ditch me and join the Congress government at the Centre is baseless and a rumour spreaded by opponents at election time for ulterior political motive,” Prasad told PTI here.
“Paswanji is concentrating totally on Bihar elections.
It is my perception that anti-Mandal forces have started playing tricks to create confusion among the people so that the NDA can gain. I tell you that such mischievous elements will not succeed,” he claimed.
Turning his attention to Congress, Prasad said AICC leader Rahul Gandhi, while targeting the rule of Rabri Devi, seems to have forgotten that his party was a partner.
