Lalu: Like Bihar, we are here to strengthen SP in UP

Lucknow: RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav today said they have come to Uttar Pradesh to strengthen Samajwadi Party and “chase away” BJP from here like they did in Bihar.

“We are here to strengthen SP. We have chased away BJP in Bihar. Just like ‘geedad’ (jackal) is chased away we will chase away BJP from UP too,” Lalu said before leaving SP’s silver jubilee celebrations.

Former Prime Minister H D Devegowda, when asked about the possibility of a coalition, said, “We are not in field here. A situation might arise after UP, Gujarat and Punjab polls. We are here to attend silver jubilee celebrations on the invitation of SP.”
