Patna, Oct 27 (Reporter) Prashant Kishor, founder of "Jan Suraaj," alleges on Sunday that both RJD chief Lalu Prasad and state party president Jagadanand Singh were engaged in promoting only their family members.
Kishor, popularly known as PK, while addressing a series of public meetings in favour of party candidate Sushil Singh Kushwaha for assembly by-election in Ramgarh seat, said that RJD chief Lalu Prasad and Jagadanand Singh were seen making appeal to cast votes for their own society, indicating caste.
In fact, Lalu and Jagadanand were not at all concerned for people of Bihar or their own caste men but whipping caste sentiments to take electoral advantage of their family members, he alleged.
"Lalu never promoted a youth of the Yadav community for the post of Chief Minister but only his son Tejaswi and exhorted all Yadavas to cast their votes for him," PK pointed out and added that RJD leaders were just whipping caste sentiments to their own political advantages.
He asked people to cast their votes, taking into consideration the future of their sons and daughters.
Kishor also cautioned people against BJP candidate Ashok Singh from the Ramgarh seat, saying if he won, the hands of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar would get strengthened.
In such a situation, Kumar would ensure carrying out land surveys and installation of smart meters, causing more troubles to people, he noted.
PK said that his party candidates would emerge victorious from all four assembly seats where by-elections would be held on November 13. It was time for people to teach a lesson to all existing parties like BJP and JD(U), he noted...////...
