Laloo Prasad Yadav :

ON THE last day of campaigning, Jugsalai constituency of Jamshedpur has become the center stage to appeal for votes for the 2009 Assembly Elections in Jharkhand. The Rashtriya Janta Dal (RJD) in its last attempt to woo voters has called upon party supremo Laloo Prasad Yadav, former Chief Minister of Bihar and Union minister for railways for the second time in the city to campaign for Sharda Devi.

Yadav who in all his rallies had pitched for a secular government commented that the RJD unlike some national parties doesn't discriminate between religious outfits to get votes.

Commenting on the Liberhan Committee Report, which was compiled by Justice MS Liberhan on the Babri Masjid demolition in 1992, he said that the report should be made public and the crime doers should be brought to justice and the action report should be tabled at the parliament as well as released for public opinion.

"It is important that the citizens of India realise that democracy and secularism has been made a farce by some corrupt and selfish national parties. It is ravishing candidates like Sharda Devi who can haul Jharkhand out of acute corruption and dirty politics," said Yadav, who in 2004, had claimed and accused LK Advani, Bharatiya Janata Party supremo, of conspiring to kill Muhammad Ali Jinnah.

Yadav in his last visit to Jamshedpur on November 19, with Ram Vilas Paswan had alleged outfits like the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and the Rashtriya Seva Sangh (RSS) with reference to the BJP that they were spreading communal violence and destroying the very idea of a secularist nation.

In his last campaign before the assembly elections on November 25 he reminded the people that the if the dacoits of Chambal of region, in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, could be convinced to put down arms through peaceful negotiations then it will also work to curb Naxalism, but the only factor that can make it happen is a right person and a righteous governement.

"Naxals comprise of unemployed rural youth if the government can strengthen the agricultural sector not only will the state flourish but it will also curb more youth from joining the naxals," said Yadav who rose to prominence from the Jayaprakash Narayan led 1970 students movement in Bihar.
