Fatua (Bihar):
Janata Dal United (JD-U) leader Sharad Yadav has launched a strong personal attack on the Gandhi-Nehru family and in particular, Rahul Gandhi.
Addressing an election rally in Fatua in Bihar, Yadav said, "These people with the symbol of hand (Congress party's symbol)...this country and this family, your family has also got 50 years (to govern). Motilal, Jawaharlal, Indira Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and now Rahul Gandhi. Right now a new boy (babua) has come. He does it like this (imitating Rahul Gandhi's style of pulling up his sleeves while making public speeches)," Yadav said.
Stepping up the attack on Rahul, Yadav, who is also the convenor of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), said, "What do you know. Somebody wrote on the paper and gave it to you and you read it out... You should have been picked up and thrown away in the Ganges. But the people are sick...this country is unfortunate".
