If RSS can carry lathis, why can’t RJD, asks Rabri Devi

Former Chief Minister of Bihar and Senior RJD leader Rabri Devi has attacked RSS and BJP for having double standard when it comes to use of lathis (bamboo sticks).

"Why RSS men themselves carry lathis when they and BJP leaders don't hesitate to term RJD as 'lathi mein tel pilawan party'?" she ranted out while addressing the 9th triennial open session of RJD's national council in Patna.

She also said that it’s a daily practice for RSS men to carry lathis in their daily training camps, however, when the RJD workers were asked to come to a rally with lathis, both RSS and BJP men made fun of the party.

"What type of organization the RSS is in which even senior old people come wearing knickers. Do they not feel shame in coming in public wearing half pants?", asked Rabri in her usual, rural dialect as she managed to bring out some laughter from the audience.

She also referred to the recent controversy that sparked when RJD chief Lalu Prasad issued some instructions to a civil surgeon in Darbhanga. She said that it was his right to inquire about people's problems. "Except BJP and its allies, no other people in Bihar has any problem, if Lalu ji calls an officer. Only BJP wallah have some problems. But how long we should care for BJP's such unfounded reactions?" she asked the people present there.
