Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at the Centre and alleged that the country is “heading towards civil war”. The former Bihar chief minister also called upon the people to unite against inflation and unemployment.
“The way BJP is working, the country is moving towards civil war. I call upon the people to unite against inflation, unemployment and corruption in the country,” Lalu was quoted as saying by ANI news agency.
Lalu, who was granted bail in the Rs 139.35-crore illegal withdrawal from Doranda Treasury by the Jharkhand High Court in April, also appealed to the secular forces to unite and fight together.
“We do not have to back off,” he added.
Meanwhile, the opposition Grand Alliance in Bihar on Sunday also hit out at the BJP-led NDA at the Centre as well as the state, by imposing an “undeclared emergency” on the country wherein dissent is being stamped out by “misuse” of probe agencies and smear campaigns are launched against those critical of the regime.
