Patna, March 3: Rashtriya Janata Party leader and former Bihar chief minister Lalu Prasad Yadav on Sunday took a dig at the National Democratic Alliance’s Sankalp rally in Patna by calling their grand event an ‘illusion’. He took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and state Chief Minister Nitish Kumar stating that despite using government resources, the leaders have struggled to organise the much-hyped mega-rally.

Taking to Twitter on Sunday, Yadav wrote, “Narendra Modi, Nitish and Paswan have worked for months, using government resources, to organise the rally at Gandhi Maidan. The number of people the rally has attracted is similar to the gathering I could have attracted at a roadside paan shop.” PM Narendra Modi, BJP Using Situation in Jammu and Kashmir to Cover Up Their Failures, Says Mayawati. 

The comments come amid the mega rally of the National Democratic Alliance, organised after Congress held the first-of-its-kind ‘Jan Akanksha’ Rally at the same venue. It is to be noted that for the time after 2010, Kumar is sharing the stage with PM Modi.

In the tweet, Lalu spoke alleged that the organisers of the rally are using clever camera movements and optics to show a large gathering. He took a swipe at both the organisers and leaders, stating that they should show real footage instead of zooming in the camera at the rally.
