  • ‘Hell Bent On Ending Reservation, Democracy And Constitution’: Lalu Yadav Warns People Against BJP |

    Lok Sabha Elections 2024: RJD supremo and former Chief Minister of Bihar Lalu Prasad Yadav today launched a scathing attack against the BJP alleging that the saffron party is ‘hell-bent on ending reservation and democracy’. Taking to social media amid the Lok Sabha campaign, Lalu Yadav warned people against voting for the BJP. 

    “Dear countrymen, Be alert and cautious! BJP is hell-bent on ending your reservation, democracy and constitution of the country. If the constitution of the country does not remain, then democracy will also not remain in the country. You will not remain equal citizens of the country. You will not remain citizens who have rights, constitutional protection and remedies. You will remain just slaves of a few people,” said the RJD chief.

    The RJD is contesting the Lok Sabha polls as a part of the INDIA bloc which consists of Congress and the Left party in Bihar. The NDA consists of the BJP, LJP-RV, JDU, RLM and HAM.

    Lalu Yadav further said, “If there is a constitution, then there is a reservation and if there is a reservation, then there is protection from inequality, oppression and tyranny. There is a sense of equality, there is a remedy. The BJP’s conduct is anti-equality by nature. These people want to increase inequality in society by abolishing the constitution and reservation and make people mental slaves again.”

    प्यारे देशवासियों,

    सतर्क और सावधान हो जाइए! भाजपा आपका आरक्षण, देश का लोकतंत्र और संविधान खत्म करने पर तुल गया है। देश का संविधान नहीं रहेगा तो देश में लोकतंत्र भी नहीं रहेगा। आप देश के समान रूप से नागरिक भी नहीं रहेंगे। आप ऐसे नागरिक नहीं रहेंगे जिनके पास अधिकार होंगे,…

    The RJD leader further claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi never took action against the BJP leaders who claimed that their party would end democracy and make a new constitution. 

    “It is clear that they (BJP leaders) have deliberately got a green signal from the top leadership of the BJP. Through such statements, BJP people test your seriousness, awareness and commitment towards reservation and constitution.  If you do not contribute today in the fight to save the Constitution, reservation and democracy, then you and your future generations will live the same vicious cycle of oppression and neglect that your ancestors once lived through,” warned Lalu Yadav. 

    Lalu Yadav further urged people to participate enthusiastically in this festival of democracy and ‘teach a tough lesson to the anti-Constitution and anti-reservation BJP’.

    In another post, Amit Malviya stated, “Mamata Banerjee’s provocative communal speeches are responsible for the attack on the Ramnavami Shobha Yatra in Rejinagar, Murshidabad. High time election commission took note of Bengal Chief Minister’s irresponsible utterances, which are leading to targeted violence against the Hindus”

    He shared another video saying, “Bengal is falling apart and Mamata Banerjee is responsible for it. Her vituperative and communal speeches are the reason Ram Bhakts have been attacked across Bengal. After widespread rioting in Murshidabad, now devotees of Shri Ram targeted in Egra, Medinipur. BJP Karyakartas will gherao Egra Police station NOW to protest the brutal attack on Ramanavami Shobha Yatra. Bengal CM must be held to account for failing to protect Bengali Hindus.”
