Tejashwi Yadav’s Reply For Priyanka Gandhi’s Tweet On Lalu Yadav

Patna: Congress leader Priynaka Gandhi Vadra on Friday put up a post in support of RJD leader won a “thank you” note from his son and Bihar opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav.

A fifth corruption case involving the fodder scam has resulted in the conviction of Lalu Yadav. When he was Chief Minister in the 1990s, he made illicit withdrawals of 139.35 crore from state funds.

Priyanka Gandhi, in her tweet, accused the ruling BJP of harassing opposition politicians.

“The key aspect of BJP’s politics is that those who don’t bend before it are persecuted in every way. Lalu Prasad Yadav is under attack because of this politics. I hope he gets justice,” the Congress leader wrote in Hindi.

This followed by a appreciation post by Tejashwi Yadav.

“Thank you, Priyanka-ji. Lalu ji has always fought those who oppress, harass people and create divides. There is no doubt that justice will win. We will not be afraid of the Sanghis,” wrote the RJD leader.

“We are with the Congress ideologically. But it is regional parties like RJD or Trinamool Congress, Samajwadi party…who should be in the driver’s seat,” he said.

The long-term partnership started souring when the Tejashwi Yadav-led opposition alliance fell just short of a majority in the 2020 Bihar election. The Congress was blamed for dragging down the alliance with its abysmal strike rate; the party could win just 19 of the 70 seats assigned to it.

Even Lalu Yadav commented that the Congress was one of the reasons the opposition alliance could not form a government.
