Congress president Sonia Gandhi and RJD supremo lalu Prasad will share the dais during the party’s campaigns for the five phases of lok Sabha elections in Bihar after April 10.
“Soniaji and RJD president lalu Prasad will share the dais in public rallies after April 10 while canvassing for the remaining five phases of elections in the State,” Congress State unit vice-president Prem Chand Mishra told reporters here.
Incidentally, the Congress leader had shared the dais with RJD candidate and former Union Minister Kanti Singh during a rally in Sasaram on April 3, Mishra pointed out. He blamed both the BJP and JD(U) for spreading ‘rumours’ about a deteriorating relation between the Congress and the RJD, and also slammed BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi for his remarks on ‘pink revolution’ and ‘cow slaughter’ at a rally in Nawada.
“Cows are being slaughtered in Gujarat also, so why Narendra Modi is silent about it,” he said. Mishra also questioned BJP’s right to seek votes from Bihar though it has not mentioned any special package for the State in its manifesto.
