New Delhi, Sep 14 (NationPress) JD(U) chief spokesperson Neeraj Kumar vehemently criticized Lalu Prasad Yadav on Sunday, dismissing his claims about corruption as “a joke” and highlighting his hypocrisy regarding remarks against the NDA government.
In response to Lalu Yadav’s social media assertion that the “double-engine government is immersed in corruption”, Neeraj Kumar stated to IANS that the former Chief Minister of Bihar lacked the moral authority to address such issues.
“Lalu Yadav claims he will eradicate corruption, what a laugh! You’re not even fit to participate in elections. Having been convicted in corruption cases, you should prioritize your health. Your political standing is only going to decline,” Kumar stated forcefully.
Previously, Lalu Yadav had taken to the platform X to accuse the NDA-led Bihar government of enabling rampant corruption. Accompanying a video of an anti-corruption raid on education department officials, Lalu insisted that the current regime must be ousted, asserting:
“A double-engine government equates to rampant corruption! This time, we must change this corrupt system. Hence, we will replace the Chief Minister and the government.”
Neeraj Kumar also commented on the Prime Minister’s latest visit to Manipur, where PM Modi inaugurated development projects and called for peace amid ongoing ethnic strife.
“The Prime Minister’s visit to Manipur, where he announced development initiatives and urged for peace and unity, was crucial. Manipur is a jewel in our nation, and the unrest witnessed there is a concern for all,” Kumar remarked.
“We hope that the populace will embrace the Prime Minister’s message and foster peace,” he added.
Regarding the ongoing controversy surrounding the India-Pakistan Asia Cup cricket match, Kumar criticized the opposition for intertwining politics with sports.
“Operation Sindoor was a testament to the valor of our Armed Forces. Now, they are attempting to find a political narrative even within a cricket match. Have they lost all perspective? They’ve begun to criticize the sport itself,” he concluded.
