Patna: Elections are being held for the post of speaker in Bihar Legislative Assembly. Meanwhile, an audio clip of RJD president and former CM Lalu Prasad Yadav is going viral, in which he is inciting NDA MLA Lalan Kumar to revolt by luring him for a ministerial post. The MLA who has been lured has accepted the conversation with the leader.
JDU MLA Lalan Paswan, part of the NDA coalition, has said that Lalu Prasad Yadav called him on Tuesday night and spoke to the party to rebel and destabilize the current government. MLA Paswan said, 'After winning the election, calls were coming to congratulate him constantly. I felt that someone had received a similar call, so my PA received the call. PA said that Lalu Ji wants to talk, then I thought who is Lalu Prasad Ji? It is told to be from Ranchi. Then I bowed to him. Then Lalu Ji said in the conversation that the speaker has to be dropped immediately. You will be given a ministerial position after doing so. We refused to do so. '
Former deputy CM of Bihar Sushil Kumar Modi accused RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav of plotting to topple the NDA government of the state. Sushil said on Tuesday that Lalu Prasad is calling NDA MLAs from jail and giving him the temptation of the ministerial post.
