My contest is against Lalu Prasad not Rohini, says Rajiv Pratap Rudy

Rajiv Pratap Rudy, sitting MP of Saran and three times parliamentarian who has defeated Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad’s wife Rabri Devi and Lalu’s samadhi is now all set to face Mr. Prasad’s daughter Rohini Acharya at Saran Lok Sabha seat. Bharatiya Janata Dal (BJP) leaders earlier mocked Ms. Acharya by calling her Singaporean Bahu because she stays in Singapore with her husband and three children.

While speaking to The Hindu, Mr. Rudy said that the candidate would have had no identity if she was not the daughter of Mr. Prasad. Taking a potshot of her candidature, Mr. Rudy said that Ms. Acharya is the dummy candidate; the contest is against Lalu Prasad and she is in Saran for vacation.
