Patna: Lalu Prasad plans a grand comeback at a "parivartan" rally in Patna today. His party, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), says it is aimed at bringing change in Bihar. His rivals say it's an excuse to install his two sons, Tejpratap and Tarun, in positions of prominence in the RJD.
The man who famously installed his wife as Chief Minister of Bihar when his political career was set back by the massive animal husbandry scam, is not in the least apologetic. "When they are my children do you want to them to hold a lotus (the BJP's symbol) or arrow (the symbol of the ruling Janata Dal- United)? It is natural that they will hold lanterns and canvas for the RJD," he said today. The lantern is the RJD's political symbol.
Mr Yadav who has two sons and seven daughters said, "I have invited all my daughters and sons-in-law, save those who are abroad, so that all of them can see how popular their father still is and the power that he continues to wield."
This is the first such rally that Lalu Prasad has organised since 2007.
