‘Modi ko hatana hai': Lalu Prasad vows to oust 'dictatorial government’ in 2024 Lok Sabha polls

Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar earlier this month ended the alliance with the BJP-led NDA in Bihar and joined hands with the RJD and other opposition parties including Congress to form 'Mahagathbandhan' government. The JD(U) leader on August 10 took oath as Bihar chief minister for a record eighth time and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav as his deputy.

Patna: RJD leader Lalu Prasad, on Wednesday, hit out at the BJP-led Central government, saying that the dictatorial government needs to be ousted in the 2024 Lok Sabha election.

“We have to oust the dictatorial government. Hatana hai, Modi ko hatana hai (we have to oust Modi (government)," said the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) president when asked about 2024 general election.

On being asked about BJP leader Sushil Modi's allegations following te formation of the new government in Bihar, he said, “Sushil Modi is a liar. It's all wrong.”

The JD(U) leader on August 10 took oath as Bihar chief minister for a record eighth time and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav as his deputy.

Last week, the JD(U) said that its former ally will be ousted from power at the Centre in 2024 general elections.

Janata Dal (United) president Lalan Singh asserted that the BJP will lose 40 Lok Sabha seats out of its 2019 winning tally in three states alone - Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal.

In 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP had won 47 seats in these three states.

Singh made the remarks after meeting Lalu Prasad to enquire about his health.

"I took blessing from Lalu ji that we have to uproot them (BJP) in the 2024 polls. We have to target to bring their tally down merely by 40 seats as they had won 303 seats," he said.
