Скачать или смотреть RJD offers unconditional support to JD (U) in Bihar

The Rashtriya Janata Dal has announced unconditional support to the new government in the state under JD (U) leader Jitan Ram Manjhi. All the 24 MLAs of the Lalu Prasad-led party will support the government and a formal announcement of the decision is likely to be announced later in the day. JD(U) has 117 members in the Bihar assembly. RJD chief Lalu Prasad said that their unconditional support to JD (U) was to keep communal forces out of Bihar and hence decided to extend his party's support to Manjhi. "We want to fight communal powers & keep them out of Bihar, and that's why we have offered our support to JDU," Lalu said. Lalu said the party had authorised him to take the decision in the matter. RJD leader Abdul Bari Siddqui said that they will extend the party's support to JD (U) as the latter chose a maha dalit leader to lead the state.
