RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav claimed on Sunday that the ruling NDA in Bihar is’ on the end of the end ‘and the new government of the state led by the state will’ put the Waqf Act brought by the Narendra Modi government of the Center.
The young leader addressed the ‘Waqf Bachao, Save the Constitution’ rally held at the historic Gandhi Maidan, where the leaders of various political parties tied black strips as a protest.
The former Deputy Chief Minister, who is now the Leader of the Opposition in the state assembly, said, “Our national president Lalu Prasad has made it clear that RJD will strongly oppose this law. Our MPs have opposed it in both houses of Parliament. We have also knocked on the door of the court against this law.”
Yadav said, “I will also tell my Muslim brothers of Bihar to remember that the NDA government is going to go. In November, a new poor supporter government will be established in the state and it will dust the Waqf Act.”
Yadav will lead the India alliance in the assembly elections to be held later this year.
He said that the ruling and power sharing in the state at the center would have to remind that freedom was received due to sacrifices made by Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs and Christians and no one should behave as if the country is its father’s property (no country’s country is not a country).
Yadav told a large number of people present, “Be vigilant about the Election Commission’s effort to help the BJP by specially revision of the voter list. We have to compete with it and thwart any conspiracy to deprive people of their franchise.”
