Patna, Nov 1 : RJD President Lalu Prasad may be in jail but cannot keep away from Bihar politics, jumping virtually into the campaigning on Sunday, ahead of the second round of the Assembly polls, to take up Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his “double engine” remark.
“It is not a double engine but it is a trouble engine government in Bihar,” Lalu Prasad said from his official Twitter handle.
Where was the “double engine” when migrants from the state had to be brought back during the lockdown, he asked.
He was reacting to Modi’s statement, at his Chapra rally, that Bihar has a double engine government meant for development, referring to his party and the Janata Dal-United, while the opposition has a “double Yuvraj”, a jibe at Congress’ Rahul Gandhi and RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav.
Tejashwi Yadav also reacted sharply on the PM’s “double engine” statement.
“If he has double engine government in Bihar, then why is unemployment rate in Bihar 46.6 per cent,” he asked.
