"Modi govt is weak, can fall by August": RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav

"I appeal to all party workers to be ready, as elections can happen anytime. Modi's government in Delhi is very weak and it can fall by August and and INDIA bloc government will be formed in the country," Lalu Yadav said speaking at the RJD's foundation day event.

Lalu Yadav made the remarks while addressing party workers on the Rashtriya Janata Dal's foundation day on Friday.

He further further expressed satisfaction with the party's performance in the Lok Sabha elections 2024.

Earlier, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav asserted that the Bharatiya Janata Party is against reservation, adding that it was the Mahagathbandhan government that raised the reservation quota to 75 per cent.

"If anyone raised the reservation quota to 75 per cent, it was the Mahagathbandhan government. The BJP is against reservations. After the NDA-BJP government came to power in Bihar, it stopped the reservation hike in the state. This is the reason we have been saying that the BJP is not just against Bihar but also against reservation," the RJD leader said.

He further said that Rashtriya Janata Dal is the only party which has neither compromised nor kneeled before BJP.

"Those from Janata Dal (U) compromised with their ideology due to their greed for power and allied with the BJP. Rashtriya Janata Dal is the only party that has neither compromised nor kneeled before the BJP. Being in power is not the biggest thing. Our fight is for those who are weak and deprived," he said.

RJD is celebrating 28 years of its foundation today. The RJD came into existence on July 5, 1997.

PM Narendra Modi took the oath on June 9 in Rashtrapati Bhavan as the PM of India for the third consecutive term.
