RJD supremo Lalu Prasad will reach Patna from Delhi on Sunday after a gap of more than three years. The former Bihar chief minister will land in the state capital in the afternoon along with his wife and elder daughter. Lalu is expected to campaign for the by-elections to the Kusheshwar Asthan and Tarapur assembly seats.
Voting on both the seats is to be held on October 30.
According to Times of India sources, Lalu Kusheshwar will address at least one meeting each in Asthan and Tarapur seats. A senior RJD functionary said, “The final decision regarding the campaign will be taken after Lalu arrives.”
RJD national vice-president Shivanand Tirawi said that party workers would be inspired by Lalu’s arrival. “The old-timers who worked with the RJD chief will be happy to see him back,” TOI quoted Tiwari as saying.
Though the RJD looks confident of capturing two seats from the JD(U), it faces a challenge in the form of the Congress which has thrown its hat in the ring in both the constituencies. Allies run the risk of cutting each other’s votes, which may benefit the JD(U) candidate. The RJD is also hurt by Lalu Prasad’s elder son throwing tantrums and declaring that he will follow the coalition dharma in his own way, by supporting his father’s party in Tarapur but supporting the Congress in Kusheshwar Asthan.
