TIL Desk/National/Patna/ Rashtriya Janata Dal Chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, while taking on his foes, said that even if he went to jail in the rail tender scam case his party would remain unaffected and his vote base would likely soar in upcoming Lok Sabha and Assembly Elections for 2019 and 2020.
As per report, Lalu while speaking at the book launch of rebel JD-U leader Ali Anwar’s compilation of speeches in Parliament, “I want to say is if I have to go to jail, there will only be an increase in votes for me.”
The RJD Chief also spared no chance in taking a hit at Prime Minister Narendra Modi calling him a “desh ka badshah” under whose leadership the democracy was being mocked and made fun of.
Lalu’s comment follows Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi’s statement that the Enforcement Directorate, the CBI, and the Income Tax department had strong evidence of benami transactions against RJD supremo Lalu Prasad and his family members.
Modi has even gone on to state that “they will not only face charge sheet but also be sent to jail and awarded punishment.”He also compared the present political situation to that of tanashahi (autocracy). Lalu further added that people are afraid of even being spotted with a cow. Fringe Hindu outfits would come out with swords to teach the person a lesson, the report quoted him as saying.
