In an attempt to strengthen its vote base in Palamu and Chatra parliamentary constituencies, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader and former Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar Tejashwi Yadav along with Hindustan Awami Morcha (HAM) Chief and former Bihar Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi addressed several public meetings on Thursday to ensure RJD candidates’ victory from both the seats in Jharkhand.
Addressing a gathering in Palamu Tejashwi Yadav said that he is hopeful of a victory in the constituency since the party here is contesting on the agenda of social justice.
“RJD has been fighting for the rights of the poor since years. Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) government has put RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav in jail to weaken this crusade. The people of Bihar and Jharkhand have been gearing up to speed up the unfinished movement of Lalu. I hope that RJD candidates from Bihar and Jharkhand will be victorious in the elections,” he said.
Tejashwi said that the purpose of RJD is to save the constitution of India and reservation for backward classes.
Both the seats will go to polls on April 29. Ghuran Ram is RJD’s candidate from Palalmu and Subhash Yadav from Chatra.
Tejashwi said that the country’s watchman is sleeping and the thieves fled abroad with money from the country. He said that under the leadership of Grand Alliance, a majority government will be formed in the country.
Speaking on the occasion, Manjhi said that Narendra Modi calls himself a watchman, but he did not perform the duties of the watchman.
“In his four years of tenure terror incidents have not reduced. People fled with the money the government gathered through demonetization,” he said.
RJD and HAM are alliance partners in Bihar along with Congress party, Vikasshil Insan Party and Rashtriya Lok Samata Party.
Manjhi said that the Prime Minister of the country did not fulfill any of the promises he made during 2014 elections. Modi’s government is busy working for development of industrialists, it is not working for the poor, he added.
RJD is contesting Palamu seat as opposition’s Grand Alliance representative. In Chatra, RJD will battle it out against BJP and ally Congress.
