Lalu Prasad neither worked for welfare of backward classes nor Yadavs: Amit Shah in Bihar
The Hindu
Amit Shah criticizes Lalu Prasad for neglecting backward classes and promoting family members, warns against 'jungle raj' in Bihar.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on May 24 launched a blistering attack on Lalu Prasad, alleging that the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief neither worked for the welfare of backward classes nor the people belonging to his caste ‘Yadav’.
While addressing an election rally in favour of senior BJP leader and Union Minister R. K. Singh in Arrah, Mr. Shah said if Mr. Prasad, as part of the "arrogant" INDIA bloc, comes to power, "jungle raj, abduction, and gang war will return to Bihar".
"People don’t want the return of 'jungle raj', gang war and abduction industry in Bihar. Lalu neither worked for the welfare of backward classes nor the people belonging to his own caste ‘Yadav’. They are under the wrong impression that Lalu works for them," Mr. Shah said.
"Lalu Ji allowed his two sons to become Ministers, sent one daughter to Rajya Sabha, and another is contesting the Lok Sabha polls. He made his wife the Chief Minister of Bihar....He promotes only his sons and daughters. He can’t think for the welfare of people belonging to his own caste," Mr. Shah said.
The BJP leader accused the Congress and the RJD of "trying to rob reservation from the quotas of SCs, STs and OBCs and give such benefits to Muslims".
"The NDA under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji will not allow this to happen. Congress, Lalu Prasad and Mamata Banerjee are against reservations to backward classes," he alleged.
"They have been exposed”, he said, referring to a Calcutta High Court order that cancelled OBC certificates issued in the State since 2010.
