Patna: Janata Dal (United) leader Rajiv Ranjan Singh said that people of Bihar have made up their mind to show the way for ‘farewell of BJP and Modi’.
Ranjan Singh, who is widely known as Lalan Singh, took on the BJP when he was addressing the first public meeting after quitting the party post.
JDU chief, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar took over the post from Rajiv Ranjan Singh at the JDU's national executive meeting in Delhi.
While Singh attributed his leaving the party post to engagements in his Lok Sabha constituency, the BJP said he was removed.
Addressing one of the four meetings he attended in his constituency Munger since leaving the post, Singh said ‘Religion and faith are not for exhibition’.
Adding further he said ‘I am a Hindu too and my faith is deep, but I don't show it like those from the BJP. Religious places are not sites for exhibition. They are being used to mislead people. The media is being put forward to spread falsehood through sponsored news.’
As for the JDU administration in Bihar, he said the Nitish Kumar-led alliance government is going strong and added that in the Lok Sabha polls the alliance will fight together on the INDIA platform.
‘Bihar will show the way for the farewell of the BJP and (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi. The people have made up their minds,’ Singh was quoted as saying.
Meanwhile, Singh declared that he would sue media for reporting he plotted a rebellion in the party, favouring Rashtriya Janata leader Tejashwi Yadav.
