New Delhi: Reacting to BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad's jibe 'Iss baraat ka dulha kaun?' at the opposition's Prime Ministerial candidate, Congress leader Pramod Tiwari on Friday said 'Dulha taiyar hai'(the opposition's PM face is ready) and asked BJP to be ready to welcome the 'baaraat'.
Pramod Tiwari hits back and said, "Ravi Shankar dulha ki chinta na kare...Hamara dulha taiyar hai, aap baaraat ke swagat ki tayari kro (You should not worry about our groom (PM contender) he is ready. You be ready to welcome them)."
"This opposition meeting is to unitedly raise voices to save the democracy," Tiwari further said.
This came after Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Ravi Shankar Prasad asked who would be the Prime Ministerial candidate from the Opposition for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
"Nitish Kumar 2024 ke liye baaraat saja rahe hai Patna mai, baaraat me to dulha bhi hota hai, par is baaraat ka dulha koun hai? (Nitish Kumar is preparing the wedding procession for the 2024 elections in Patna, but who is the groom (PM contender)? Everyone is calling themselves a PM contender," BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad asked Opposition leaders.
The Opposition meeting is underway in Patna with an aim to arrive at a consensus to forge a united Opposition front to take on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in 2024 Lok Sabha polls. (with ANI inputs)
