Chhapra (Bihar): Toughening his stand over the Women's Reservation Bill, RJD supremo Lalu Prasad has said he will pull down the government if they try to push the Bill through.
"The Women's Reservation Bill will be passed over my dead body. In the Rajya Sabha, the government may have used the military to break dissent, but in the Lok Sabha, I will pull down the government if they try to push the Bill through," he said at a rally in Chhapra.
He had indicated earlier also that the Congress' recalcitrance over tabling the Bill might lead to early elections and asked his partymen to remain prepared for mid-term polls.
"We want that the Bill should facilitate reservation for minorities, NREGA workers and other backward class women who deserve justice," he had said at a rally in Patna, adding he would take the battle to its "logical conclusion".
He had alleged that the Congress and BJP were trying to bring the Bill in the Lok Sabha for "ulterior intentions" which would be fought with full vigour and strength.
Prasad had also accused Congress of bringing the Bill to deflect people's attention from skyrocketing prices of essential commodities.
