Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State unit president Samrat Choudhary on Tuesday took a dig at Rashtriya Janata Dal supremo Lalu Prasad by calling him “political cancer” of Bihar. Mr. Choudhary reacted on Mr. Prasad’s social media post in which he slammed all the leaders who are raising questions regarding the recently released caste based survey.
Mr. Prasad’s eldest son Tej Pratap Yadav came down heavily on Mr. Choudhary and called him ‘son of Shakuni Mama’ referring both to Mr. Choudhary’s father Shakuni Choudhury, and to the devious uncle from Mahabharata.
Mr. Choudhary’s father Shakuni Choudhary was one of the founders of the Samata Party, and is considered a strong OBC leader from the Kushwaha community. Shakuni Choudhary has retired from active politics now.
