In a fiery press briefing from Patna, JD(U)’s Rajiv Ranjan Prasad tore into DMK’s latest provocative comments, branding them as a hallmark of electoral panic. The Tamil Nadu ruling party’s minister’s statement, he argued, is nothing but a calculated ploy to divide the populace along caste and community lines for short-term political gains.
‘DMK’s repeated divisive rhetoric stems from their realization that power is slipping away,’ Prasad observed. With AIADMK, BJP, PMK, and allies gaining ground, Tamil Nadu’s electorate is poised to deliver a verdict against DMK’s return, he confidently predicted.
Praising Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla’s adherence to protocol during the no-confidence motion debate, Prasad termed it a shining example of parliamentary dignity. Opposition efforts to sensationalize this tradition are deplorable, he added.
Turning to Rahul Gandhi, Prasad ridiculed his reliance on snippets from an unpublished book to attack the government. The Speaker’s refusal to allow such references underscores the need for factual discourse in Parliament, not theatrics born of inexperience.
On the tragic Ajit Pawar aviation mishap, he stressed that official DGCA probes will uncover facts, dismissing premature rumors.
Prasad exposed the Murshidabad mosque row as a scripted ‘noora-kushti’ between TMC and Humayun Kabir to stoke communal tensions. West Bengal’s discerning public won’t fall for these tactics, ensuring TMC’s ouster.
In Bihar’s budget session chaos, he lambasted the opposition’s antics as unbecoming of responsible politics. CM Nitish Kumar’s governance has transformed Bihar—boosting infrastructure, enhancing public welfare, and slashing crime statistics over 20 years.
Celebrating the 150th year of ‘Vande Mataram,’ Prasad endorsed the Home Ministry’s call for reverence. This anthem, etched in India’s independence saga, deserves universal respect, stirring patriotism in every heart.
