May 05, 2024
Patna (Bihar) [India], May 5 : JDU leader Vijay Chaudhary on Sunday hit back at former Bihar CM and RJD leader Lalu Prasad Yadav's post on X in which he had said that the Constitution is in danger. He questioned where is the Constitution in danger. What is happening that is not according to the Constitution?
"Where is the Constitution in danger? Elections are going on and all the leaders including RJD leaders are asking for votes and support for their respective parties. Is asking for votes putting the Constitution in danger?" Chaudhary said.
Lalu Prasad Yadav wrote on X that his election is not about dying but about fighting for survival. He further wrote that 140 crore people in the country are seriously thinking about this.
Earlier on Sunday morning in a post on X, Lalu Prasad Yadav said, "140 crore people of the country are seriously thinking that if the Modi government comes, it will destroy the constitution, democracy will end, it will end reservation, the youth will die without jobs, the youth will die without employment, the common man will die due to inflation, we will implement Agniveer in police and paramilitary forces too, the farmer will die demanding his rights, hatred and division will increase more than in these 10 years, the remaining autonomy of the constitutional institutions which have been ruined over the years will also end."
In response, JDU's Vijay Chaudhary questioned the premise of Yadav's claims, asking, "What is happening that is not according to the Constitution?"
Polling in Bihar, which sends 40 members to the Lok Sabha, is being held across all seven phases--April 19, April 26, May 7, May 13, May 20, May 25, and June 1.
