RJD foundation day: Party resolves to take Lalu Prasad’s messages to masses

RANCHI: The state unit of RJD on Monday observed its silver jubilee foundation day by resolving to spread the principles and messages of their party president, Lalu Prasad, to the masses and also help the party’s working president, Tejashwi Yadav.
Speaking as chief guest on the occasion, the party’s Jharkhand in-charge, Jai Prakash Narayan Yadav, said Lalu formed RJD in 1997 to empower the Dalits, the poor and the weaker sections of society.
He said, “Lalu fought for the poor, the minorities, the Dalits and the Adivasis. I call upon all party workers to take the slogan of social justice, brotherhood, communal harmony and unity to every household.”
Yadav claimed that the people of Bihar had given their mandate to Tejashwi to rule Bihar but the Janta Dal (U) and BJP combine snatched it and formed the government. He said the current government would collapse due to its “wrongdoings” and a Tejashwi-led government would come to power.
Jharkhand minister and party MLA Satyanand Bhokta said the government was functioning well under the leadership of chief minister Hemant Soren. Former minister Radha Krishna Kishore said RJD should plan to fight more seats in Jharkhand in the next assembly election.
On the occasion, messages by Lalu from Delhi and Tejashwi from Patna were also broadcast.
State president of the party, Abhay Singh, inaugurated the function and the party leaders also paid homage to late Ram Vilas Paswan of LJP on his birth anniversary.
