29 July 2013 11:24 PM GMT
The JD(U) on Sunday claimed there was no doubt left that Lalu Prasad would support Narendra Modi as prime ministerial candidate as the RJD leader was ‘panicky’ due to Congress’ inclination towards arch-rival Nitish Kumar.
‘The RJD chief’s political line is becoming clear now.
After Congress showed inclination towards Nitish Kumar after split in NDA, Prasad grew panicky and has found an alternative in Narendra Modi,’ Sanjay Jha, senior JD(U) leader and a close confidante of chief minister Nitish Kumar said.
Jha’s remarks came after Parsad reportedly cautioned secular forces of a ‘Narendra Modi wave’ while asking them put up a united front yesterday.
Lalu Prasad, the JD(U) leader claimed, has been directed by his religious guru, whom he visited at his ashram in Mirzapur on Saturday, to support Modi as PM candidate.
‘The RJD chief has himself said that he is a strong follower of Pagla Baba. So can he say no to his direction to support Narendra Modi as PM candidate?’ he said.
The bonhomie between the two leaders has been in the public domain in recent days. Modi was the first to telephone Prasad to enquire after his health following a minor accident he had met while going to Raghopur recently, he said.
