Rashtriya Janata Dal president Lalu Prasad on Sunday reached Patna after over three-and-half years. He was accompanied by his wife Rabri Devi, elder daughter Misa Bharti and other family members.
Mr. Prasad, who was accorded warm welcome by party leaders and workers at the Patna airport, is likely to campaign for the party candidates in the byelections scheduled for October 30 at Tarapur in Munger and Kusheshwarsthan in Darbhanga districts. Both Tej Pratap and Tejashwi Yadav, sons of Mr. Prasad, were present at the airport to receive him.
“We are excited that our party leader and bhagwan [God] has come to Patna today and now leaders of all political parties will realise the importance of being Lalu in Bihar,” an RJD worker from Arwal said.
Senior BJP leader and former Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Saturday (November 23, 2024) said the landslide victory of the Mahayuti alliance in the Maharashtra Assembly election was historic, and that it reflected people’s mindset across the country. She added that the DMK would be unseated from power in the 2026 Assembly election in Tamil Nadu and that the BJP would be the reason for it.
