Coming back to his old and trusted plank RJD chief lalu Prasad termed the political situation prevailing in the country as extraordinary. He tried his best to draw a parallel between "highly communal" situation which existed during 1990s and cautioned the voters to vote for a make or break this time around.
Addressing a poll rally on Thursday at Chattarpur, 40 kms from Daltonganj under Palamau parliamentary constituency, the RJD president lashed out at his main opponent, the BJP. "This is not a normal situation but an extraordinary one. Remember 1990 when we have had similar kind of challenge before us. Riots were taking place like anything. But I came at the helm and I put a brake on all this. Now what I am facing today is the resultant of my efforts for social engineering," said lalu.
lauding reservation as one of the dreams of Baba Saheb Ambedkar, which gave freedom from psychological baggage to millions, lalu charged the BJP with bringing the Ram Temple issue just to counter him. "I urged Advani ji not to take out rath yatra but he challenged me. I stopped his rath in Bihar. They all took revenge of that, sent me to jail and thought that now lalu is gone. But lalu has arrived again. It is now the time to understand the sinister game of the BJP. You all should come united," he said favouring RJD candidate Manoj Kumar, contesting as a coalition candidate of Congress and JMM.
