Rashtriya Janata Dal leader and former Bihar Chief MinisterLalu Prasad on Tuesday said Congress President Rahul Gandhi’s decision toresign will be suicidal not just for his own party but also all opposition.
“Rahul’s offer to resign suicidal. Opposition partieshad the common goal to dislodge BJP but failed to build a national narrative.The result in a particular election can never alter the reality in as diverseand plural a country as India,” Lalu Prasad, who is in jail since lastyear in the Fodder scam case, tweeted.
The RJD faced a complete rout in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls,while Lalu Prasad was imprisoned at the Birsa Munda Central Jail. He has notkept well and had also been undergoing treatment at a hospital in Ranchi.
His Twitter handle says while in jail the RJD chief’s tweetswould be managed by his family.
