In its efforts to dent the vote bank of the Rashtriya Janta Dal (RJD), the Bihar unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) inducted over 21,000 yaduvanshis (members of Yadav community) into the party.
The inclusion happened in the presence of senior BJP leaders in a programme led by the party’s State president Samrat Choudhary, and Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai.
“I take this pleasure to announce that more than 21,000 Yaduvanshis have taken the membership of the party today. In Bihar the Yadav’s are 14%. Hailing from the clan of Krishna, the presence of Yadavas should witness milk flowing in the State but under the aegis of Nitish Kumar it is liquor that flows instead. When the regime of Lalu Prasad was changed in 2005 there were 997 liquor shops but when prohibition was imposed in 2016 the number of liquor shops was 11,000. Liquor is available on demand by just making a phone call,” Mr. Choudhary said while addressing the crowd at Bapu Sabhagar.
