Patna, Feb 13 (NationPress) Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Lalu Prasad asserted on Thursday that he will prevent the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from establishing a government in Bihar as long as he remains active in the state's political arena.
In a media interaction in Patna, Lalu Prasad stated, "How can the BJP form a government in Bihar while we are present? We will not permit the BJP to take charge in Bihar."
In reaction to Lalu Prasad's claims, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha expressed confidence that the NDA, of which the BJP is a member, will reclaim power in the state.
"It is uncertain whether Lalu Prasad will remain, but the NDA is guaranteed to form the government here," Deputy CM Sinha remarked.
Further criticizing the RJD figure, he said, "Lalu Prasad has transformed the term 'Bihari' into an insult, incited caste divisions, and fostered discord among people. We no longer need figures like him."
